How to fold curve using sheet metal function?

[SBix26]

Can't be done with Inventor sheet metal tools.  Inventor sheet metal works mainly with rolled and bent forms, deformations with either a cylindrical or conical form.

Hi! Sam is right. Inventor sheet metal can bend on straight line only. The geometry shown in the image can be created by using general 3D modeling features like Sweep or Loft. However, the resultant shape may not be unfoldable. You will need to use Unwrap to flatten it.

Many thanks!
