Hi all

Hi,

Info no.1: Part is created in Creo 5.0

Info no.2: Your "partial cone" is not cone.

Use Shaded curvature analysis to get gaussian curvature of the "partial cone" surface. You will see that its value is not equal to zero. The surface is not ruled surface, therefore you cannot create flat pattern.
