There is an icon that, when I hover over it, names itself "slot" -- just what I'd like to create!
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find any useful help in using this tool --:mad:
The "help" tells me lots of things I can do with slots AFTER they've been created, but (so far as I can tell) nothing about how to actually create one. When I select the tool (once I have an active workplane), there is little/no clear prompting on what a user is supposed to do to use the tool.
Can anybody please post regarding:
1. How to extract the *relevant* help from the "help" system.
1.5 Why doesn't the slot command have an help *index* entry under "slot" ?
2. What does the slot tool "want" as input? a bounding box/fillet radius?
Initial/final cutter positions,
or something completely different.
It seems to want (some unspecified number of) points, but what, exactly do the points define? The bounding box of the slot?
Why doesn't this tool give a pane of selections/parameters to enter??
(whis is it unlike the interface for other commands?)
