Is it possible to create a rotary 4th-axis toolpath when milling in inventor CAM similar to in machining extension of fusion 360 detailed here:

Thanks for any help as I've been trying for a while with no success!

Hi

Yes, but only for pockets; not for profile.

I'm aware I can wrap 2d toolpaths etc, but it's not possible to do the rotary-style profile cut like the above in fusion 360.
