Is there a way to dimension a slot based on the length of the slot rather than to the center points of the end curves. I want to specify the over all length of a slot rather than the distance between the centers of the tanget arcs that form the ends. There doesn't seem to be a way to change a sketch dimension to measure from the edge of a arc or circle instead of it's center point.
Welcome to Fusion Forums and thank you for your post.
We are going to support adding slot with different method which should meet your requirement(dimension the overall length). However for your current version, you have to follow a workaround. You can add a point to the middle point of arc and then dimension the distance of 2 middle points. Hope that works and let us know if any issues.
Sally,
I believe these new slot methods have been added since this thread was started. However, I'm having an issue with the "Overall Slot" option. When I use this, I enter the dimensions, but only the width ends up as a fixed dimension. Fusion is not adding any dimension to the length. It is simply making the length whatever number I specify, but if I drag the line it's not constrained by a dimension. Should it be adding both dimensions (width and length)?
Thanks,
Caz
You need to pick a start point then enter the length and press Tab then pick an end point and set the diameter.
