The best way - is not to roll sheetmetal.

Model it in finished form and have Inventor calculate the flat pattern.

Touche!

Maybe a more descriptive question would deserve a more befitting answer. :P

 

What are you looking to achieve, a cylinder perhaps?

Rolled profile with flanges?

 

Do you have any images you could upload?

I gave the OP the best answer there is. Now it is up to the OP to model the part or attach a sketch here so that someone can demonstrate how to use Inventor sheet metal functionality.
