Randy, First of all, you should create your flat pattern using the Flat State command under the sheetmetal setup. That will add the flat state as an instance in a family table, with the generic being the formed (bent) state. In the drawing, add a model. In the case the new model is the flat instance. Then, for example, the 1st sheet can be for the formed state and create a 2nd sheet for the flat state. Make sure you switch model to the desired state before adding views.
