Keyway for bearing nut

When using shaft generator, Inventor Professional 2012, the keyway for the bearing nut is modeled as though it is cut with a key cutter and not a end mill.  Is there a way to change this?  My company's shaft design is based on using a vertical end mill to cut keyways.  I want the radius end of the keyway (the end opposite the end of the shaft) to have its radius between the two parallel sides of the keyway and not between the keyway bottom and vertical edge.

Sorry to say there is no way to change the standard cuts made by the shaft generator. 

There is another option and that would be to create an iFeature of the cut and add it 
after. This would give you the flexibility to create the feature in the 
manufacturing method you like.
