Incorporating a Slot Feature in Sketches: A Suggestion for Onshape from a Long-Time SolidWorks User

in General
As a long-time SolidWorks user, I've grown to appreciate the slot feature in sketches due to its convenience and functionality. However, when using Onshape, I've noticed the absence of this tool. Creating slots in Onshape requires using lines and offsets, which can be cumbersome, especially when you need to draw a line where there's already a centerline, and then select the right one. This process is particularly tedious if you're familiar with how simple and efficient it is in SolidWorks. Therefore, I wonder: why hasn't Onshape incorporated a similar slot feature into their program? It seems like a valuable addition that would significantly enhance the sketching process.

This fills that niche for us, but you have to manually enter your diameter, rather than selecting from a bolt clearance table.
