Summary: The ability to prevent self intersecting feature failures by having cuts, features and filets act more like machining operations.

Description: Self Intersecting Cuts, Features, Fillets etc.

How Used: When placing a sweep, if the shape of the profile is larger than the radius of the path, a self intersection occurs that currently causes a failure. A typical example would be running a 1 inch router cutter around a 1/2" corner. This is a simple machining operation but it fails in Inventor. I would like Inventor to be able to perform the same operations as a milling machine, router etc.

Feature Affinity: Part Modeling

I've seen Charles describe this before, it's a must have.

I do experience this problem many times as well being in the Polyester industry. It often takes many work arounds to get the final shape I need. It quite frustrating.

Shouldn't this "wish" be combined with this one, http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=38269 ??
