I'm having trouble creating a flat pattern for this part. The colored embosses are silkscreen put in by our customer.
I'm using Inventor 2014. Been having no problem creating patterns all day and the second I got to this one I've run into a wall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You are more likely to get a response if you use Windows Explorer to zip your file rather than rar.
Find the red End of Part marker in the browser.
(End of Folded on sheet metal parts EOF)
Drag the red EOP to the top of the browser hiding all features.
Save the file with the EOP in a rolled up state.
Right click on the file name and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.
Attach the resulting *.zip file here.
Drag down the red EOF.
I was able to flatten the part - but I think I would remove all the extra detail first.
