Slot
Id prefix: SLOT · Elements: exactly three · Selection filter: FACE / EDGE · Entry 15 of 16 in the panel's + dropdown
Slot puts a pin in a slot: the pin stays upright in the slot, on its centreline, and can slide from one end to the other but no further. Pick the pin (its cylindrical face, or a circular edge), then the slot's two round ends (their cylindrical faces, or circular edges). The two ends must be on one component and the pin on another. The pin may still spin and move along its own axis; add a Touch Align or Distance to set its height.
Tick Fix position to hold the pin at a set place along the slot: Along is the percentage of the slot's length from the first end you picked, and reverse measures it from the second. 50 % is the middle.
