    The method of designing a slot cam is pretty much entirely dependent on
    the function you want it to perform. Slot cams can do a lot of
    different type things. This is entirely INdependent of SolidWorks. All
    you need to know for Solidworks is how to work it . . . period!! And
    nobody here is going to teach you basics, although specific modeling
    questions will likely be answered. If you can tell us a fair bit about
    your application perhaps someone here can give you some hints.
    Otherwise there are some books that can help in learning about cam
    design of all sorts. One is "Illustrated Sourcebook of Mechanical
    Components" by Robert O Parmley (McGraw-Hill, ISBN #0-07-048617-4). An
    entire set of four VERY good books is named "Ingenious Mechanisms for
    Designers and Inventors", editor Franklin D. Jones (Industrial Press,
    ISBN for 4 book set #0-8311-1084-8). Individual books of the set can
    also be bought (each has its own ISBN). Go to www.industrialpress.com
    to see them. As I remember, the first chapter of each book is on cam
    design for various applications and of various difficulties. If you
    can't understand a fair bit of math, though, go get an engineer to help
    you.
