How to create slot centerlines through the center of the slot in drawings

Hello, 

 

I have found a quick way how to create a automated slot centerline thorugh the center of the slot. I could not use automated centerlines, because it would create centerlines in the center of the circles, not in the centers of the slots (as shown in the picture). If I want centers of the slots, I would have to create centerlines manually.

 

Previously I would have to create centerline bisector between two circles and two straight lines (that is 2 steps per each hole). If you have a flange with 80 slots, it is a tedious work. I have found out that if the hole width is e.g. 12 mm, I can create a hole over the slot with 12,001 mm. Then I can click automated centerlines and uncheck everything, except holes and normal projection. Then It would create automated centerlines and it will not have a negative impact on geometry.
