What does theThin Part to Synchronous Sheet Metal command do?

 The Thin Part to Synchronous Sheet Metal command transforms a uniform thickness ordered or synchronous part into a synchronous sheet metal part that consists of native tabs and flanges. The transformed body contains sheet metal attributes just as if you used sheet metal features to create it. You can add sheet metal features to the body as well as edit the thickness or bend radius.
