Dear Maripali,
I'm weal at sheet metal- Particularly in flat pattern.
Please share some screen shots for flattening the shape.

Hi PriyankPadaria,

I tried to represent that coil of sheet, but never saved. Sorry. May be later I'll make it again.
Inventor makes flat pattern automatically and it is very easy single button pushing.
When you'll done with the Sketch and Coil in the 3D Model Ribbon, return to Sheet Metal Ribbon and simply press Flat Pattern (not available in Inventor LT) button.
Be sure your coil thickness agrees to the Thickness on the Sheet Metal Default.

Regards.
