I did some research, apparently SolidWorks has a sheet metal function
that allows one to unwrap an object and get the sheet metal layout. Plan
is to get a 10 day license to have at it. Word is I should be good to
start late Thursday.

OK, I NEEDED to get up to speed on SolidWorks but I didn't plan to do it
on an urgent project.

Alibre Professional also has a sheet metal function. I have Alibre
standard, which unfortunately doesn't have that capability.
