Good
I sacrificed my helmet for your problem :D^^
I spent some time on Sunday, but I still didn't manage to solve your problem!
I will admit that it annoys me.... :/
If a charitable soul could look =) it would take a hell of a thorn out of our feet!

Hello Bart,
Sorry for your Sunday, you shouldn't have spent time on the problem, Sunday is sacred.
I tried to redo the multibody in sheet metal module, but I still don't have the options. I looked everywhere in the options, on the internet, on SW help, but I couldn't find anything conclusive.
I'll look into it again during the day, I'll keep you informed
Have a nice day
PS: This is enclosed a configuration of a chain guide, in sheet metal module

Hello
Your problem is simply solved since SW 2013 or 2014 I don't know anymore. Bart must be in one of these versions so has the checkbox to save the properties of multiple bodies but not you because you must be in an older version.

Well I took the time to read the other answers and you are in SW2014 so I am looking at another solution.

If I did it, it's because it made me happy!! =)
Well it's mostly that I don't like to stumble over something and not understand why.
I have trouble sleeping after :p

So I understand that you are in 2014 but you do not have the sub-option in the "copy custom properties to new parts" option when you save the parts to parts.
Is that it?

Re
According to my tests, if there is a sheet metal in the file, it doesn't work anymore. The sub-option is only available if I only have Welded Parts Items.
So the solution is to do everything without any notion of sheet metal, simple volume, to register your bodies and then convert to sheet metal.

It works with sheet metal, I did it.
Otherwise I had given the solution of the sheet metal cnovertion which works but is longer.

Thank you @ coyote
That's why I specified to do everything mechanically welded via profiles
See list of links and tutorial above
this type of piece has the view that I have of it since I can't have the file being in 2012 can very well be made via profiles
so profile library (create profiles)
and welded construction
We will find all the parameters of these said parts
@+ ;-))
Re
@gt22 not necessary to make profiles, x body in notion of welded constructions and it works.
@Bart how do you get the option available with sheet metal? Which version of SW? Do you start with a sheet metal and then welded constructions or the other way around?

Hi all
Thank you for your information,
If I understand correctly, I can only find the properties of each part in the multibody, when I design this multibody as a volume body, then I save the bodies and then I convert it into sheet metal,... What a job.
Stop me if I'm wrong.
Ps: otherwise go through the welded construction?

The best solution is the one presented in my old post.
Here is the image of it (See attached)
That is to say, export of sheet metal, then conversion of the stock into sheet metal.

Re
Yes, you have to activate the welded construction (not necessarily create mechanically welded elements), then create your x bodies without sheet metal.
In any case, at home it's the only way to make it work and so I go to the sheet metal shop after the storage of the bodies in single pieces. So yes, it's a lot of work.
Now we should understand pkoi @bart get there with sheet metal and not we I'm also in sw2014 sp4.

I get back on track @Coyote.....
I spent so much time on it that I didn't know what I had done or not....
In conclusion, I confirm what you say. impossible via bent sheets unless you convert later...
So we don't know why, but he doesn't want to export bent sheets.....

For me, you have to keep the parts in the assembly, and make a mep that takes up piece by piece.

Have you looked at the solution mentioned in this question: http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/3d/etat-deplie-pour-la-mise-en-plan
That is to say, to no longer outsource the bodies, but to use your part directly and to select the desired bodies to make the details of each flow.

Benoit, it's not the MEP that is the problem, but the registration of bodies.

In any case it might be an improvement to SW in the future, because if you have to do the design in volume body and then take it all over again in order to convert it into sheet metal, I don't see too much time saving

Precisely @Bart, if you don't get the recording of all the bodies externally, you don't have any more worries!
