Not out of the box, but with drawing templates and mapkeys, you can create a button that will export a DXF of the flat pattern.

Yes.

1. DXF from Model: Create an Instance of the Flat Pattern. Open the instance, Set Orientation Normal to the Flat Pattern and SaveAs DXF. Please refer to the Help section for creating an Instance for the Flat Pattern.

Ensure the following:

2. DXF from the Drawing:

To Automate, Create a Template file for the Sheetmetal Part. Use the Template to create the Sheetmetal Drawings. Template Files can be automated to show All the dimensions neatly arranged too. One may have a separate Template File for 1:1 Drawings of Flat Pattern without any format, specifically for export (SaveAs...) to DXF file.

I am looking solution that will convert the dxf direct;y from model without any manual activity i.e. Just right click sheet metal part it will generate the dxf file. Will that be possible?

Perhaps through a Macro with Pause for user input to select the coordinate system in case of Model, and again a macro while on drawing. No direct command.
