cnc machining with inventor

[BIGZAZZA]

Good evening to all,
My name is gorea and I have already presented myself in the inventor forum when I wrote myself a few days ago. I've been working with this program lately, and I've been asked to perform a feature that creates a problem for me. in practice it is to simulate the effect of a mechanical processing performed by a cnc milling machine on a cylindrical piece: Imagine a mill that works a steel cylinder that runs around its axis and simultaneously moves up and down the axis itself.
I would have thought of a 3d sketch of the trajectory and then use the sweep feature to remove material but it seems a somewhat laborious solution; I'd like to ask if someone can tell me a simpler way.

Thank you in advance for your kind answers.

ps: I checked if there were other posts about it and I don't think I found them; I hope I looked good. if it were not so I apologize

..proved with emboss?

Good evening,
I resumed this project last week and managed to finish it. Thanks for the tip!

Hi.

If you tell us how you solved it might be useful to someone else:finger:

dear bradypo666,
you're right and so here's the procedure I followed:
1: On the cylindrical surface in question I created a plane parallel to one of the two coordinated planes having as support the axis of revolution of the solid piece
2: I realized with real lines and construction lines a sketch of the path that I was interested in the "bottone" milling. precise that this route involved a quarter of circumference.
3: This sketch was projected on the cylindrical surface using "project 3d sketch".
4: I used the "emboss" command by defining the depth of material removal processing and "flegging" the "face envelope" option.
5: A polar copy of the feature was made on the entire circumference.

Good evening.
