Where is that Slot Sketch Tool again?

I can't tell you how many times I've been asked this question, sometimes repeatedly by the same person.  I guess I should thank them though.  It is because of all those times that I remember where it is.  It's not their fault either.  It's hidden in the offset tool.  I understand why SolidWorks put it there and I know if they moved it, those who use it all the time would be upset.  But as a user, trying to make the connection (slot = offset) and remember it is harder than learning to use your mouse with your non-dominate hand.  You also won't find this in the help menu if you search for slot.

This is an old tip, but in case you haven't seen it yet here you go.  To make a slot: Draw a line (construction or regular), Select it, Go to offset entities in your sketch tool bar and Check the bi-directional box.  Once this is checked on you can now cap the ends with arcs for a slot or lines for a rectangle.  However, I don't think I would use this method to draw a rectangle, it's just too quick an logical to draw a rectangle and add a centerline if I needed it.  Other useful options in this dialog are to make the base construction (if it wasn't already) and to uncheck the add dimensions, since it will add 2 linear dimensions both equaling the radius, which is probably not how you want to dimension your slot anyway.

Enjoy.
