Description
Draws a slot by selecting the center of one semicircle and an endpoint of the other semicircle. When starting the tool, the mouse pointer changes to a white cross with a red slot icon. The coordinates of the pointer are shown beside it in blue in real time.
Usage
- After pressing the
Create slot button, click once to set the center of one semicircle, then move the mouse and click a second time to set endpoint of the other semicircle. - Pressing Esc or clicking the right mouse button cancels the function.
