Routered Bend Reliefs

[ckirkCRESTLINE]

It would be fantastic if Inventor had a bend relief option that matched the shape a router would leave, ie an open ended slot where the bit comes into the material and back out on the same path. Currently this shape can only be achieved by sketching it

Are you talking about this shape that was done automatically with the flange command?

Hi! Please share an image of the desirable relief shape.

Many thanks!

Yes, except I need this shape everywhere, including on 3 bend corners. I posted an idea about this, which was my original intent but I misread which forum/board I was on. Images of what I need is also attached here.
