    sorry for being gone so long...but getting back to it....

    I am trying to use the dogbone tool for the file attached. It was successful on one of the slots, but not the others. Not sure what else to do, other than manually dogbone the corners. Tried rebuilding corners, no success. I saw some corners weren't exactly 90 deg (89.9), but even on some rebuilt 90 degree corners, the dogbone didn't work. Any ideas? See attached

    none of those corners were 90 degrees (-:
    and how you rebuild them is critical. I found a way that works. you have to pause over the midpoint of the line so that it 'infers' the perpendicular from that, but you also have to be careful to read the label when it infers to make sure that is is not saying 'parallel to line' because it may pick up one of the other lines to be parallel to.
    also, do not click near one of the existing endpoints as it will snap to that.

    I have attached my fixed file and will try to link to a video for you....
    here it is
