How do i flatten a sheetmetal part in INVENTOR?

Problem is that i used the flatten command to flatten the part.

Then I did the drawing in Inventor. When I saved it, in the sheet

metal module, inventor grayed out the flatten icon.

How do i ungray it to be able to fltten the part again.

 

cadtotor is not allowing me to upload .ipt file

The file you have attached (the box with no lid) has no problem? I pressed the flat pattern and it worked no problem.

 

Edit, post a screen shot of what the problem is so we can have a look.

It's grayed out because you already created it. Just right click "Edit Flat Pattern" in your Browser Tree, and it should return. Right click "Edit Folded" to return...
