    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.

    sir i have unfolded the tube but now what problem i am facing is in the sheetmetal the opened tubed width is 80.225 mm but when i take it to drawing its width becomes 79.1 its creating a problem in wrapping this profile around the pipe for notching. sheetmetalmeasure.jpgsheetmetal+drawing.jpg

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