Attention for Customers without Multi-Factor Authentication or Single Sign-On - OTP Verification rolls out April 2025. Read all about it here.

So let's start with the basics then.

 

1) What is the input that will be required from your user BEFORE running the rule?

   - Just as the hole command must be used on a point, the slot command would likely need to be used on a sketch feature of some kind. Especially for creating a basic version, this is a good start.

 

2) What parameters do you want the user to be able to control about the slot that aren't available in the Extrusion command?

 

3) How much does this actually benefit your workflow and speed things up over the current workflow:

     1. Create sketch

     2. Create slot in sketch

     3. Dimension slot

     4. Use extrusion command.
