Something like this to get started with. And then of course, I'll finish it off with some constraints and dimensions. So first I want this to be a fairly symmetrical sketch. So there's a number of ways I can do this. I'm just going to use the Equal Constraint and say I want these two lines to be equal, and also these two lines to be equal.

The radius, let's say is about 30 millimeters, and angles between this line and my angled line, let's say maybe 170 degrees. And finally, the length from bottom corner to let's say the circle is going to be 120 millimeters, let's say. And now I have a…
