Description
The Sketcher CreateSlot tool creates a slot, a closed polyline consisting of two semicircles connected by two parallel straight lines.
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
Pos-OVP = Positional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 0.22
Dim-OVP = Dimensional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 0.22
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Create slot button.
- Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create Slot option from the menu.
- The keyboard shortcut: G then S.
- The cursor changes to a cross with the tool icon.
- Pick the center of the first semicircle. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X and/or Y coordinate.
- Pick the center of the second semicircle. Or with Dim-OVP: enter the distance between the centers and/or angle of the slot. The angle is relative to the X axis of the sketch.
- Pick a point to define the radius of the slot. Or with Dim-OVP: enter this radius.
- The slot is created and applicable Pos-OVP and Dim-OVP based constraints are added.
- If the tool runs in continue mode:
- Optionally keep creating slots.
- To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.
Notes
- version 0.21 and below (introduced in version 0.20): Holding Ctrl when picking the second center will constrain the slot to be drawn horizontally or vertically.
- introduced in version 0.22: Angular snap can be used to control the angle of the slot.
- introduced in version 0.20: A slot can also be constrained horizontally or vertically if the Auto constraints option is enabled.
