Translations:Basic Part Design Tutorial 019/71/en

From FreeCAD Documentation
  1. Make sure Sketch is visible, and Mirrored is hidden.
  2. Click Create sketch and create a new sketch attached to the XY_Plane. The sketch will be named Sketch003.
  3. Click Create rectangle and create a rectangle similar to the smaller rectangle in Fig: SD1. Because the rectangle is offset from the X axis this should not trigger an automatic Point onto object constraint.
  4. Exit the tool.
  5. Click External geometry.
  6. Select the point P1 as shown in Fig: CC2 from Sketch.
  7. Exit the tool.
  8. Apply these constraints:
    1. Select one of the horizontal lines, apply a Horizontal distance constraint, and assign a value of 7 mm.
    2. Select one of the vertical lines, apply a Vertical distance constraint, and assign this expression: <<Sketch>>.Constraints.width.
    3. Select the top-left point of the created rectangle (marked TL in Fig: SD1) and the newly added external geometry point and apply a Coincident constraint.
  9. The sketch should be fully constrained now.
  10. Click Close.
