Converting Sheet Metal Bodies into Sheet Metal Components in Autodesk Fusion 360

 You have created a file with sheet metal bodies, everything is finished but then you realize that you need to convert these bodies into sheet metal components.  Maybe you need to create a flat pattern for each body, or you need to use the bodies in an assembly with joints.  

You right click on the sheet metal body in the Browser and select Create Component from Bodies command but quickly you find out that this command will not work on sheet metal bodies.  Do you have to start over, no, in this short video I show you a workaround for this process saving you a lot of time.  You will do better next time.
