Arcs in a Section Line

[Anonymous]

Is it possible in any version of Inventor to have a curve or arc be the section line? Basically I need a flat pattern of a circular feature that is not a sheet metal part.

It would appear there isn't... there should be. looks like there's another thread about using an arc for a section line:

i'm surprised this hasn't been addressed thus far.

Hi @Anonymous,

a pattern would help, whatever you write can be anything

Hi,

This is not possible now. But there is a similar idea that would need some support.
