I am trying to construct a transition piece, square to circle using the sheet metal tools in Inventor 6. I created the part by lofting a square and a circle followed by a shell to the thickness of the material I am working with. When I try to do a flat layout it fails offering little information as to why. Am I doing something incorrectly or is this feature not available in Inventor. I was able to do just a cylinder created in much the same way without any problems.

Basically the "round" needs to be polygon, and the
"rectangle" needs to have polygonal corners, both with the exact same number of
corners. Exactly like it would be done in the shop.
Kent Keller has a basic sample on his
webpage.
