Creating a Pipe cutout

[boyerd]

I have join two 3" pipes at 30 degress. I want to create a paper template which I can use to define how the pipes must be cut for the two pieces to mate perfectly. I can create the shape in 3D but need to find a way to use that shape to create a a paper template for both pipes. Neither Flatten or SOLPROF will work because I'm dealing with a curved surface and they produce a distorted flat image.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could do that?
Thanks

I had a look at their site and it looks like just what I need. However, I just need it for one shot and it's not practical for me to pay that kind of money. If I did this on an on going basis yes.
Thanks for the info. I'm constantly amazed at what's out there. Some has a need and sure enough someone has an answer.
