Here are two ways to make a standard vent slot with rounded ends. If you use the grid, you can place (and evenly space) many of them quickly.
To make a vent slot using the grid
- Turn on the grid.
- Draw a rectangle and make it the size you want it to be. It will snap to the grid lines.
- Draw a circle at each end of the rectangle, and let them snap to the top and bottom of the rectangle.
- Click Edit, select the three objects, right-click within the selection box and choose Merge.
To make a vent slot without using the grid
- Draw a rectangle and specify its Width and Height in the Properties panel.
- Draw a circle at each end of the rectangle, and make their Diameters the same as the Height of the rectangle.
- Click the Measure tool, select the center of the rectangle and the center of one circle, change the distance to "0.0", then repeat this step for the second circle.
- Merge the three objects.
Note: You can make a vent cutout of any shape using the Path tool.
