Drafts inside weldment assembly

[matthewZYUPT]

Does anyone know if its possible to do a draft within a weldment assembly? my coworker was trying to do it but it seemed like the icon is non existent within that file type? obviously there are alternative tricks like a sectioned revolve or a sweep but more interested in the simplified tool "draft".

In assembly, only features that remove material is available.

Draft could go either way.

Hi Matthew,

Frederick is right. Inventor assembly features are mimicking traditional machining workflows. They can only do cut, not adding material. It sounds like you may need to draft across multiple parts. Maybe you want to derive the assembly to a part. Then draft the faces in the part.

Many thanks!
