My problem is that the slot is tapered (will attach a pic and print) and it does not seem to be able to measure as a slot. I don't have a problem finding the center of the slot, but later when dimensioning some hole i lose my mmc from the slot because all I have is a center pt. I hope I explained this correctly. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Attached Files Adam Olson "Lucky Players Casino, liquor in the front poker in the rear!"

Did you try constructing a slot with the means you used to get the center. I would only guess that the dim given is at the top of the taper sigpichttp://npmichaels.com/ (My sons book) THANKS (CAD IS ALWAYS MASTER) 4.3 & 4.2MR2/GLOBAL/PH10MQ/WINDOWS XP Comment Post Cancel Adam Olson Member Join Date: Jun 2008 Posts: 39 Share Tweet #3 09-04-2008, 11:50 AM The top and bottom walls are not tapered. But the side walls are. The .910 dimension is not hard to get but I have a hole position that gives me mmc of -d- and I cannot use it because I don't have a feature size.

If you can't solve it on your own - post your code for better assistance.
