Yes, you can Sweep-Cut in an assembly.
Ok it tells me the sweep requires two visible sketches.
And when I put a sketch on the assembly it tells me there are no visable sketches.
Here. Take a look at this and see if you can come up with a solution.
I want to put a 30 degree chamfer aronud the lower part of the sample along the radius.
I'm tiying to acomplish this with just a sweep cut to follow the radius.
I know I could take the hours to draw this out in CAD for dimentional purposes and model each layer as a seperate size and then assemble with the chamfer already on.
But that will take forever.
HELP.

Inventor is CAD! CAD=Computer Aided Design
First thing I noticed is that your sketches are not constrained or making use of the origin.
I recommend you go through these while someone works up a solution to your problem.

I think you will want to concentrate on any information you find on multi-body solids as this will make your work very easy.
I did not see ANY sketches in your assembly.
You will want to become familiar with Component Patterns. (or Feature Patterns if you get into Multi-body)
Funny stuff, but not impossible.
See my IAM. Included parts as before.

Hi! There are several ways to create the geometry you want, if I understood the request correctly. You can use Assembly Sweep (one triangular profile and a path in a separate sketch). Or, you can use Assembly Chamfer.
Or, you can do it in the parts. There are actually only two unique parts in this assembly: Knife Rad Ply and Kinfe Rad Glue. You just need to create the features in these two parts. Then in the assembly, all occurrences will get the features after update.
Thanks!
Sure, you had to download missing files, Blair.
😉 I shouldn't discuss this with an expert.
Walter Holzwarth
Well, agreed. You need 3 files.
But what's the benefit, if adding two unchanged files once more?
That's no level of discussion.
