A tool or target body is not a sheet metal body

[lbd7700]

Hi
Here is a mystery.
We recently migrated from NX8 to NX9 and we are getting warnings in the Boolean unites:
-A tool or target body is not a sheet metal body. Convert to sheet metal may be required to support further sheet metal features.-
We don't use the sheet metal application.
Its only a warning, the operation is completed successfully, apparently it happens when we unite bodies created in NX8 with bodies created in NX9.
Even removing parameters and exporting and importing x_t's it still has a way to determine if the body was created in NX8 or NX9, and whenever we unite bodies from different versions the warning comes up.
Is this the intended functionality or is there a setting we can toggle?

Thanks

If you're correct in stating that these parts were not created using NX Sheet Metal nor that they were ever converted to a Sheet Metal model, then perhaps you should take this up with GTAC since it appears that your models 'think' that they're Sheet Metal parts.

Hi John, in case the models 'think' they are sheet metal, do you think this could cause any issue in the future? slow model regeneration or something similar?
I am not completely sure the bodies were never converted to sheet metal, I know the -convert to sheet metal- command, is there a reverse command? something like, forget you are a sheet metal?

Thanks

Not really, it's just that you might see a warning when entering modeling reminding you that this model thinks there are sheet metal features which should be modified using sheet metal tools that's all, but downstream, the model should behave consistently no matter what.
