Flat patterns into drafting in NX4

Hi all,

I'm trying to get both a flat pattern and a bent pattern view into drafting. The way some people have done it is to make two separate identical models and update both of them. This can be disastorous if they change one model and not the other. In NX2, we did it with family tables, using the PIP_NAV as a switch to have the flange bent or straightened, but that doesn't seem to exist anymore in NX4. Any suggestions?
