The Arc Slot Polygon Tool allows you to create precise arc-shaped slots for adjustable mounting brackets, curved hinge mechanisms, ventilation louvers, and decorative grill patterns. This feature makes it easy to design both functional and decorative elements that require smooth, curved slots.
Arc Slot Polygon Tool workspace
The tool is located in the Polygon Tool Palette, as the last tool icon on the right. With just a click, you can begin creating arc slots directly in the design workspace.

To create an arc slot, simply set a start point, an end point, a point on the middle of the arc, and then define the width of the arc. The slot is drawn automatically, giving you a clean and accurate curved shape.
Creating an Arc Slot
Once created, the slot can be further adjusted. By using the Edit tool, you can see and move the points that define the slot into new positions. This makes it easy to refine your design without starting over.
Editing the Arc Slot Polygon
You can also adjust the slot numerically using the Data Entry window. Here, the width and arc angle can be modified precisely. For example, you might change the arc angle to 150 degrees, instantly changing the shape of your slot.
Adjusting parameters using Data Entry window
Whether you're designing for mechanical precision or visual impact, the Arc Slot Polygon Tool gives you the control and flexibility to bring your ideas to life. With intuitive controls and powerful editing options, it's a must-have for any designer working with curved slot features.
