For a flat pattern? Try Splitting the surface in half and use the chook flattensurf.dll or might have to make wire frame and try the unroll. There are formulas to covert a cone into a flat shape. Been years since I needed to make a sheet metal flat for a cone and would have to dig it our of my old books. If rolling to make the cone take stretch and elongation into account for the material. I worked in a Fan factory when i was in my early 20's and we made all types of exhaust fans.

If it is a simple cone just do the layout with a compass.
