Incorporate proper slot into edge instead of box cutout #11

When i create boxes with more then one divider there is not a slit in the divider but a box at that position.

I think I understand what you're saying: You are right that a box is drawn over the divider - my python-fu isn't currently strong enough to incorporate the slot into the edge line. The slots and keyholes (in the box faces) are essentially based on the same measurements, so it was an easy workaround to do this, but I agree, it's not a really tidy way to do it. However it should still work and cut exactly the right size slots for you.

For now I'll tag this as an enhancement but it's unlikely I'll get to fixing it for a while, if ever. I have recently learned of this page, however, which does the same thing with dividers and does the slots properly: http://jeromeleary.com/laser.

If, on the other hand you think there is an actual problem with the slot placement, please open another issue and describe what you're seeing, with images if possible.

Correction - I just looked at the link I sent again http://jeromeleary.com/laser/, and it appears I was wrong. This page only allows you to do dividers in one direction, I thought I had seen it do both with slots but must have been mistaken. Sorry.
