Step 3: Draw out the shape below. Start the lower left corner on the origin (the red arrows), and make sure the lines snap to horizontal and vertical. Using the smart dimension tool, which you can get either on the menu at top, or by holding your right mouse button and dragging up. If done correctly, the entire sketch should be black, indicating that it is fully defined.
