Let's create a new sketch on the right side of this panel as we want the slots to be hidden on the inside. We'll sketch out three line segments to create the slot shape, ensuring they snap to the front edge of the leg. The vertical line will require a dimension with the plywood thickness parameter. Keep in mind, plywood tolerances will vary. You may want to consider adding or subtracting a small clearance here if you have project material in hand. I'll then add a second dimension to the top line, making this three and a half inches in length. This will serve as the minimum depth of the slot, making sure the slots can hold the keyboard tray. Our sketch is not yet fully defined and you'll see that it can move along the front edge of our panel. We'll need to define one more dimension to prevent it from moving. Thus, we can dimension…
