I have a series of slotted counterbores to put into a part and cant figure out how to get the slot going the correct way. It is putting the long side horizontal, and I need it to go vertical. Any ideas or do I just need to turn my head?

I had the same problem last week. What I did was use the Hole Wizard to make the slot horizontally, and then edit the sketch to change the center line to Vertical.
Actually, turning your head isn't such a bad idea! Hopefully someone can tell both of us a much easier way.
FYI - When you are in the feature you can change the direction when you are in the position option then when you add your first slot that is when you control the direction. You can always edit the feature again and click position and do the same thing as jackk pointed out.

Thanks Scott. It wasn't that intuitive, but after re-reading your post and trying several things I finally got it vertical while in the position tab. I'm not sure it was any easier or less clicks than editing.
It's probably not, but my thought was if you know when you're making the design which direction the slot needs to be, then you can do it then instead of editing it later.

Among the challenges in the design flow has been aligning the metrics for design-for-test and for functional safety. This paper describes using logic built-in-self-test as both a functional safety mechanism and as a part of in-system testing, which allows for alignment of metrics required for safety certifications.
