    what if the proper way to dim a slotted hole. Do you dim to the mid point of the slot and just call out the slot dim's (13/16" slot by 1 1/4" ) or do you go to each cen. point of the slot.

    The *most* "correct" way would be the way that makes it easiest for whoever
    is going to produce the slot. If you're working on some sort of machine
    part, why don't you call the fabricator and ask them? If it were me, and I
    had no access to the fabricator, I'd probably give a couple of locating
    dimensions, as you suggested, and a descriptive callout.
