Resize Slot In Sketch Mode

frederic.katz — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 17:49:15 GMT

Does anyone know how to resize a slot after it has been created? I have a 1 1/2" x 1/2" Slot which then I used to create 9 of along a circular arc which then become negative extrusions on a component face. I just realized the slot(s) should have been 1 1/2" x 1/4" but dont see an easy way to resize. I already went ahead and connected joints for all 9 slots and really dont want to redo the whole operation from scratch. Thanks.

normally you would change the dimensions your original sketch. is something preventing that?

That is what I was thinking, I am just not sure how to do that, I can select the slot and do a scale, but that changes the Length and Width, I just want to change the width and dont see how to do that.

I figured it out.

For all who might come across this in the future, if you edit on the original sketch, then under modify go to "Parameters" you can edit the diameter of the slot, in my case I have to do a shift on it afterwards to translate the 1/8" to have the original center but this was much easier then redoing from the beginning.

You do not have to go to the Parameters Table and edit the slot diameter, unless you want to, you can edit the sketch containing the slot and add or change the diameter. The Screencast will show you how to get a diameter instead of a radius.

Thanks the constraint worked, the resize is placing an angle on the slot so I think I just need to figure out how to the perpendicular constraint to keep it in place, I never used these constraints before, thanks for the explination.
