![How to Create Slots in Fusion 360 Sketches (All 5 explained)
How to Use all 5 Slot Commands in Fusion 360. The slot command can be activated from the sketch dropdown list or from the right-click sketch menu.
Like many of the sketch tools, the slot command is ultimately there to save you time from having to manually create all of the sketch geometry. Depending on which slot command you use, a series of geometry and constraints will automatically be applied.
