inventor 10 fold

[corsaro33]

Good morning,

I would have a question that left me puzzled yesterday,
I press that I am not an inventor user,
a friend of mine told me that with inventor 10 he couldn't make
a simple fold to a solid "round diameter 15 length 100 fold 15°"
but is it possible that there is no bending command??

version 10 is 4-5 years ago and to judge what makes inventor it would be right to see what makes the latest version... in 2010 and if I remember well also in 2009 there is a fold command, while in the r10 it could only be done to the plates.

Hello, pagnotz,
As you say, the command for the sheet exists, but does not bend the solids,
what sounds strange to me is that a 3d albeit 4-5 years ago,
does not have a "piega" function....
This friend had to make 2 solids, join them and collect them.
Hello and thank you

or it can be done with a sweep, even if it does not reproduce what happens in a real fold (deformation of sections). On the other hand, even the new bending command does...
