Ive got a solid of a pipe with differents cut, that I would want to get the OD surface "unwrapped". Is this possible on acad or must I use somekind of sheet program? COuld someone help me if I provide the solid?
Thanks

AutoCAD won't unwrap it for you, but you could draw an unwrapped version if you you're good.
This might be of interest, but may not be much help.

Any other cad that can do this?
solid works will do it, in most cases. aslong as you know where the split line and diameter of part.
Inventor will unwrap also.
