From your SolidWorks frame, create frame drawings with complete cut list. Insert balloons automatically that correspond to the cut list members. For an individual frame member, create a sheet metal part, flatten the tube and create a flat pattern drawing. Also see You Tube video "Modeling an FSAE frame in SolidWorks"

We were having the same problem. We figured out that if you set the K-factor to 1 when you initially turn the tube into a sheet metal part (create the bend), the final dimensions are correct.

When I flatten the tube, it lays it out, but the width is taken from the innder diameter not the outer one...
Example I have a 1" tube diameter. I flatten the tube, but the width is well below 3.14" (around 2.9 or something). HELP!

I cant get the weldments cut list to work, I do exactly what the video shows but only get the top row of the table and no part numbers
