Adding Slots into Hole Charts
Adding Slots into Hole Charts
(OP)
I have a large plate with many holes and a few slots. I have all of the holes in the hole chart already, but I want to have the coords for the slot radii in there as well. When I try to 'Add Holes' to the chart then I select the radius end of one of the slots, it selects the entire thing and calls it a loop and puts the coords, to the center of the entire slot, in the chart.
I am using SWX 2005 v4.0
Thanks

When you dimension a slot on a drawing you normally want to dimension to the center of it. Is this not what you want? and Why? I belive in previous versions it would not even allow you to add slotted holes to a hole chart.

As for using a single palette feature slot, that too will only create 1 point in a hole chart. You may be able to cheat it by creating a palette feature "half slot", and either mirror the "half slot", or make "right" and "left" half slots so the hole chart will see both centers.

Kind of a weird sequence of tasks but it worked for now.
