Hi,
seems like I cannot find Path->Slot anymore?
Did anyone remove that recently?

Re: Path Slot disappeared?
Morning sir.
The new Slot operation was tagged as experimental due to insufficient stability and usability. This simply means you need to enable Experimental Features to gain access. See the wiki at Path_experimental.
EDIT: Yes, it makes sense that a message to this effect should be added to the Slot wiki page.
Cheers,
Russell

Hi,
thanks!
I have enabled it and now the option is there indeed. I totally missed the information in the box....
I think this feature should not be marked as experimental since slotting might be something that is very common.
However I also noticed it's not so easy to use, and it complained that the border is not horizontal or vertical (I doublechecked it and it was vertical, and not something shifted).
The functionality is given, just not very clear.
The entire path functionality is pretty good.
Update 19. May 2021, I slotted the aluminium and everything worked perfectly.
