GeoTol size dimension for slots

Running 2023.1

I've got a program that has 2 slots 5.30mm L x 2.20mm W and there is no option in GeoTol for size for slots. When I open the size tolerancing my slots do not show up in the feature list.

  • You can dimension length and width of slots with the location command as well as position command (if you need to call out position).  If you construct a width feature for the slot you can dimension that using the size command.  I'm not sure about the length though because you can't construct a width feature with circles/cylinders (possibly having to do with vectors?)-- unless someone else here knows how.

  • I was really hoping not to have use a constructed/generic feature but it looks like I may have to do that. Print is calling for bonus (datum) and without tolerancing for size bonus does not show up. Then there is 0.000 position callout to face of 8mm deep slot and I'm thinking that since the DEMON doesn't have a multi-level slot auto feature I'm going to have to construct it from variables.
