Question:
My model has problem with slotted holes, they show up with multiple bolts in model views. How to get rid of that?

Answer:
This is an old issue, which applies to oversize holes as well. It is mainly only a visual problem in model view, so there is not really three bolts in reports for example. This happens as a side-effect of using XS_DRAW_LONG_HOLE_DIMENSIONS=TRUE, so setting this to FALSE can make the holes look correct.
