I am workign in Inventor 2011, and have a cylindrical part that I have converted to a Sheet Metal part. I need to make a flat pattern of this part, and so far have been unable to make it do so. Prior attempts have included cutting a seam with the extrude command, the cut command, and I tried the rip command (to no avail). I changed the Sheet Metal Defaults to match the thickness of the material, and have tried many different k factors to try and make it flatten and have reached almost the end of my sheet metal knowledge. I have attached several versions of the part.
I would be grateful for any help.
Thank you.

My precision keeps defaulting to no digits when I measure so I was coming up with 11mm- thank you.
