Show Flat Pattern Problem

Hi All. It's my first time using sheet metal in a drawing and I can't figure out how to show flat pattern in the drawing. When I insert the base view into my drawing, the bottom to "Sheet Metal View" to "Flat Pattern" is shown, but it's ghosted out so I can't select it. Is there something I have to do in the part drawing in order to activate this feature? Thanks in advance for any replies.

You have to have a Flat Pattern node in the browser of the part file.

Attach your file here if you can't figure it out.
