Creating a Continuous/Flexible Screw Mount in Inventor

[mohammad_sohaib]

I have a T-shaped adapter part in Inventor with two circular holes on one side. I need to modify this design to create a continuous/flexible screw mount that would allow for adjustable positioning between these two hole positions.

Currently, the part has two fixed circular holes, but I'd like to:

1. Create a slot connecting the two holes

The goal is to allow for more mounting flexibility and adjustability when the part is installed.

Has anyone done something similar? What would be the best approach in Inventor to create this type of flexible mounting solution? I'm considering both the design functionality and the manufacturing implications.

Any step-by-step guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Can you Attach your file here?

Have you used Sketch Slot tool before?

Hi! On top of what Kacper already mentioned, here is another solution by using Solid Sweep. Please take a look.

Many thanks!

Following Johnson's lead, you can also use the classic Extrude from a 2D sketch.
