Is there a way to achieve circular symmetry using the freeform tool. I know that Fusion360 has this option, but I cannot find it in Inventor...

Hi!

 

Symmetry exist in Inventor too:

Thank you for your reply. Could please explain how to achieve circular symmetry using this tool? For example for an uncapped cylinder with an arbitrary number of radial faces.

Yes, but this is symmetry in one plane. I'm looking for a way to get circular symmetry just like Fusion360, in which there is a dedicated option for this.

There is no such function officially. The closest you can get to what you want might be to use symmetry in two planes at once, which will give you control over all quadrants at once.
