Flat pattern drawing problem

Flat pattern drawing problem

Flat pattern drawing problem

(OP)
Hello, experts.

I am using NX 10. Suddenly (actually, today), sheet metal module starts to act weird. I create a sheet metal part, contained some export-to-sheet-metal features, flanges, bends, etc.; then I create a flat pattern and take an attempt to place the drawing view of that flat pattern. I create a new base view in the drafting module and choose the appropriate Model view to use (as default, it has the name like FLAT-PATTERN#1). Unexpectedly, part displayed on this view bent, I mean all the flanges and bends are displayed in their final state, not flattered. Additionally, when trying to edit settings of this view, there are no sections, related to a flat pattern, as if it was the regular view, not a flat pattern view.
Recently, it works normally, and I guess that I've made something wrong with these numerous options, but I can't tell what exactly. I've attached one of the parts, which causes this error.

Any help will be appreciated.

Opened it in NX11. Flat Pattern View is there and selectable.
