This may not be exactky what you're looking for, but I Create a template files with the flat view already in it, then use toolkit to create a drawing using that template.  I have a templates for TOP, FRONT, AND RIGHT as the view of the flat that the user can select from.

If I need a flat view - I have a mapkey to create one, and then do other stuff - create or open a drawing and export it as dxf, etc.

Perhaps it is a solution for you.

map key again , we are diverting away from Programming..but i need through program.

That means you are creating views for the flat pattern instance not for the original one. i need the basic views( unbended version) first and then flat veiw

I have provided a code that works for me. 

I simply click one button (I've got two buttons - one if there is and a second if there is no flat view set ) - and dxf is generated. 

See what you can do with it.

Cheers!
