I think, you can do following steps:

1. Find all generals views in the drawing.

2. Get model of the view.

3. Check parameters for last feature of the model. In unfolded model the last feature is a Flat pattern. If last feature has parameters SMT_FLAT_PATTERN_WIDTH, SMT_FLAT_PATTERN_LENGTH then this part is flat state for sheet metal part.
