They’ve checked in with me and asked if I need help a few times, but the darn thing is so easy to use, I can’t come up with anything that the application didn’t already prepare for me, at least not yet. Let me start by saying that the folks at InventorCAM are quick to respond and are really helpful. I reunited with the guys at Autodesk University 2010, and started missing my CNC time, so I decided to get the show on the road. I took a break from CAM and CNC for a while, but connecting with the company at Autodesk University 2009 compelled me to do some research during this past year, and joined the organization as an Alliance Partner. It is so well integrated that CAD and CAM workflows can be completed in the same session. It runs completely inside of Autodesk Inventor 2011, using the Inventor interface instead of a shell. It is a full featured CAM toolset for milling applications up to 5 axis, and is capable of calculating just about any contour and model feature. Could someone in the Forum shed some light and help me out? I have done some research, but the only information I found similar to what I am trying to do is in this latest Autodesk Fusion 360 video “ 360 LIVE: Rotary Machining (4th Axis Simultaneous Machining) Deep Dive”.InventorCAM 2010 is the easiest CAM application I had ever used. So far, I can’t figure out how to finish the 2 fillets profile with a rotating machining function. And finally, I was able to finish the side walls with a Swarf function. For the next step, I created an offset surface to the bottom diameter to help with the roughing of that part with a Flow (multi-axis milling) function. I did the roughing in 3 stage with the Pocket function (see picture). I am struggling a bit with the finishing contour of the pedestal (with the two fillets).

My machine has 5 axis capability (B and C are the rotary angle, C can rotate continuously). I am trying to machine the part shown in the attached picture. I have been using Inventor CAM Ultimate (Build 7.2, Inventor Professional 2020, Build 168) for a couple of months.
