For other hole wizard features, the precision can be set for each variable, such as diameter, depth, countersink, etc.

When I place a slot using hole wizard, the precision defaults to the document setting, and the only callout value precision that can be modified is the diameter. The precision of the slot length is not listed in the callout value drop down box.

While I may want the precision to be more accurate on the diameter, I may want less precision on the length. The only way to quickly set the precision on the slot length is to change the precision on another dimension, then use the format painter to change the precision on the slot callout. Only the slot length precision is changed, the slot diameter is only modified using the callout value drop down box.

Also, I noticed that a slot created using the hole wizard dimensions differently than a slot created by an extruded cut. A callout on a hole wizard slot always dimensions the slot length as over all length, and a hole callout on an extruded cut always dimensions the slot length on the center distance.

Are these two issues bugs, or am I missing a setting somewhere?
