Creating Rectangular O-Rings

[Anonymous]

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?

You can do it with a simple sweep

Thank you for the tutorial..I was wondering if AutoCad can design jewelery and   do what is called Image trace.  extrude and smart flow.  I am looking into buying Matrix versus AutoCad  any coments ?  Greatly appreciated
