How to dimension slotted holes?
(OP)
When trying to dimension a slotted hole in a drawing, the center mark command will only put a one center mark in the center of the slot and not the center of the two holes used to make the slot. How can I put both center marks in the slot in order to properly dimension it?

I've tried that. It hasn't worked. I still get the one center mark in the center of the slot.

Also, there are 3 "proper" methods to dimension a slot in ASME Y14.5. SolidWorks supports all three. The default method that SolidWorks sets is to the center since this is the simplist scheme.
