Creating Rectangular O-Rings

Anonymous — Fri, 22 May 2015 07:09:55 GMT

Is there a way for autodesk inventor to create rectangular O-Rings?

Either for a given groove, or on a flat face. At the moment I am reading

a datasheet which has dimensions regarding the groove. When I want to

design a groove I have to design the profile and the rectangular path again

and again for different parts. Is there another quicker way to achieve this?
