Slots Revisited

Ok folks I wanted to revisit the slot deal, Some of my callouts included Perpendicularity, Both Ways. So I wanted to touch up on this a bit. I really get good results this way, but it is Long way to do this, if anybody has an easier way go ahead and share, but I will show you what I do.

First on each Radius I take 3 levels of circles, create a line and cylinder, Same goes for the other side and then I create a Midline based off of the 2 lines. I then Report the distance between the 2 constructed Cylinders and add radius, make planes for the width and report the distance between the 2 Now on Report output I put none, There's no reason to report it twice. I Then create 2 Generic Cylinders to account for Length and Width using my mid line based off of the condition of the holes and start plugging in the info from all data given. and also under distance in the Generic, Just plug in LIN4.L for the length. This way if a print ask besides position in both directions you can report perpendicularity.

  • Well in a couple of the callouts it shows position and perp right under it in both directions, so I do report a width that I didn't show, sorry, I'll report that for Perp. but that mid line is gonna react to the center lines of the Radii, so I just do average, Let's face it, you know there is a circular pin going in there, mating part is not a slot shaped pin. I guess it depends on position call out, if it's a tight tolerance then I'll get a little more strict on it. If it's sloppy, average will do.
