flat pattern for cone

flat pattern for cone

(OP)
I have a request for a flatpattern to make a ducting cone - nothing fancy, I just want to help the guys in the shop. Any ideas on a quick method in sheetmetal?
I have the two diameters and the height - just need a flat pattern for shearing .
Thanks,

RE: flat pattern for cone

First create the cone, and after that make the flat pattern using either "unbend" or "flat pattern". I used "flat pattern" in the past and it worked well and easy.

Of course - thanks for waking me up. That was rather easy.
