    Sagar,

    You need to use correct orientation of part in view to get correct value.

    You can create new view in part or in drawing change the orientaion of view using Geometry references in View properties.

    Tubes are tricky in sheetmetal. There are any number of reasons it doesn't want to unfold.

    If you can attach the file a post, we can probably help with more specific answers.

    It appears that the y-factor is being applied twice.
