How to use Create Flat in the Dep View when using Annotation.

Is this command use for sheet metal only?

Can this command use for modelling?

Do you have the Sheet Metal module loaded in modeling? You have to go to the Applications tab and select Sheet Metal to access those tools.

You will find a different methods to unfold or create a flat pattern in there.

What is the minimum thickness for sheet metal?

Supposing you don't have the full blown "Sheetmetal" module, but only "Basic Sheets": the Dep View > Create Flat is not available, because you'll need the (paid) Sheetmetal Module for that.

Workaround: make a Copy of your sheet part, use Parts > Unfold to unfold it, and make a View of that on your Drawing.

You may want to keep the Copy with your original part by creating a Container (in Modeling: Structure > Part & Assembly > More > New Container). A Container is a trick to put a part beneath another part, as if it were an assembly.
