Tubing?
(OP)
I have designed a tubular chassis does anyone know how I can flatpattern my tubes so I can have all the coping done with laser? Can I use another program like inventor or somthing to achive this? I found a cnc tube bending sofware that allows me to import solidworks files but I dont want to buy it if it will not flat pattern and show the coping.

Or do you mean just straighten bent tubes? You may be able to use the Routing module for this.
Some lasers have accesories which can cut tubes ... one side at a time if necessary.

RE: Tubing?
Notch orientation could be made in the bent state, or the bend could be made relative to the notch.

RE: Tubing?
A tube bending machine may be different, but I think it would be easier to align a cut end to a formed part, rather than align a form to a cut end.
