Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...
RE: slot / pocket
an other way, yes, I'm looking for a where the slot is really running parallel to the guided cylinder.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

yes, that closer to the needs. IMHO,the quality of the trim (offset) faces seems to be .... Maybe I'm stupid.

I thought I missed something, an option... body sweep...
Question on the assembly, on reload the assembly constraints folder gets a question mark, because some constraints are controlled from unloaded geometry. I can load this geometry on the constraint folder manually. Is there a setting to load this geometry by default on load? thanks in advance

"In the next version of NX we will have some additional options"
sounds good, is there something new with the old features - pocket,pad, ... feature positioning?

RE: slot / pocket
What I did this time was remove everything up to the Wrapped Curves. I then edited your sketch, changing it so that only the centerline was relevant and even then I removed the arcs so that all I had was a 'stick-figure' path (if I truly wanted to start over, I could have obviously created an even simpler sketch, but thought I would try and save as much as possible so that you could see what I had done). From this new sketch I created the law-extension and thickened it (without the complex faces the quality of the result was MUCH better). I then added the 3-face blends on the ends and after subtracting this body from the cylinder, I added the remaining sidewall blends. This results in a much better model, with less features and while it's a bit more indirect in some respects, the results are well worth the extra time and thought that it took to find this solution.
