Zoli Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I want to create a twisted flat bar in Inventor Prof. 2008.... can anyone help me ?Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_borec Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Welcome to the forum, Zoli. While I am not well-versed on Inventor...I was able to create a twisted flat bar in ACAD with a twisted sweep. Does Inventor include a similar routine (SWEEP along a straight path with a TWIST?) twisted sweep.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencaz Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Best to Sweep along a Coil... In this case I made a profile on the XY axis and Swept along a coil on the Z KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would say no if you have Pre-2010 Inventor. Newer versions allow part creation within the assembly. You can still however, measure your assembled parts and create your twisted part, import into your assembly, and constrain. This will do the same thing basically.

Zoli Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks a lot for yours suggestions. I undestood the problem concerning the part creation & assembly.... Sorry but I come back with the question: -Can we make a twisted model using LOFT or SWEEP tools in Part Modeling? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yes you can make twisted model using Loft or Sweep in Part Modeling. Response #6 was incorrect or at least misleading in several respects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
