Hi,

I have a u-shape profil in sheet metal and i want to roll it(with radius and degre ) I can do it in real but i'm not able to do it with Inventor....
I've tried the bend icon but no success.

Many thanks for your help.

try to "fold". You need to create a sketch line first, and the fold command will ask you to choose this line, the fold dialog will give you "bend radius" and bend location (relative to the sketch line), as well as angle, and direction. You can also set the relief cut settings.
