How to create flatpattern using C#?

[Anonymous]

I'm developing an application to check if there is flat pattern, if not, the application must create.

To check if the flatpattern exists, I use the following code.

                    SheetMetalComponentDefinition sheetMetalCompDef = (Inventor.SheetMetalComponentDefinition)prtDoc.ComponentDefinition;

                    if (!sheetMetalCompDef.HasFlatPattern) {
                        //code to create the flatpattern
                    }

Anyone know how I could do to create the flatpattern?

Thanks!

Hi,
SheetMetalComponentDefinition.Unfold or Unfold2 is the way to create flat pattern.
