slots in bolted connection.

slots in bolted connection.

I often make slots from a bolted connection hole to allow for adjustments. I would find it handy if this could be done straight in/from the connection. Ofcourse there are issues like if you want a centered slot or an offset slot. And the orientation relative to the part(s). A curved slot would be nice to. Especialy since you have added these 2 slot types to Franklin.

Agreed. Contraining bolted connections onto slots can be time consuming

And provide slots to the hole feature as well. Sometimes you want to create an hole into a slot feature.

 

i-feature isn`t a solution. It only one at the time on each sketch point (so you have to create every slot one by one) and its take too much time to place a i-feature.

 

(i-have seen on video`s that Solid Edge has it since the latest version)

Would it be possible to force the bolt to slide along the slot center?  That's usually what that slot is for.

Yes slots should be also part of the  Hole command.  ( with a cylindrical surface as reference for later bolt and / or washer placing)
