I'm a ProEngineer user of 10 years but just started at a new company that has Inventor/Sheet Metal package that I'm teaching myself, they've never used it before.
 
I started my current project by creating a sheet metal part and set the material thickness at the beginning.  When I was finish the part flat pattern worked just fine.
 
The next thing I did was start an assembly and insert my initial part to create additional parts of it because of the unusual geometry.  Now the assembly is complete and I open the other parts individually but the flat patter doesn't work. 
 
If I convert the part to a model and then back to a sheet metal part I get the message "For proper unfolding the model should have uniform thicknes..."  but I can't find where to set this in the part file or the assembly.
 
Is this something I should've done at the beginning of my assembly creation and can it be fixed at this point?

A little disappointed that no one has posted any suggestions for me, is my question so elementary that it doesn't warrant a reply?
