So I decided to try out the slots in the hole wizard. So I make my slot 17/64" wide and 1/2" long. I go to the position tab and it's there, but it's horizontal, not vertical like I want it to be. So then I look to try and figure out how to turn it, but there is nothing there to allow me to do that. So how can you use this to create a vertical slot? Is it even possible?
I want the slot to go vertical not horizontal like the preview shows
I don't know why it's not showing in your screenshot, but there should be a horizontal construction line defining the length of the slot. That horizontal line is blue, because it's orientation isn't fully defined. You should be able to click on it and set a horizontal or vertical relation just like in any other sketch. I typically do that even if I want it horizontal just to make sure it really is horizontal.
