114 | Chapter 7 Constraining Sketches
5 Constrain all the arcs with the same radius as the one you just dimensioned,
responding to the prompts.
Context Menu In the graphics area, right-click and choose 2D

Your sketch should now be fully constrained. You may need to use the Equal
Length constraint for the beginning and end vertical line segments of your
sketch. Experiment with this sketch by changing the values of the two
dimensions.
If arc centers do not lie on the construction line, use the project constraint.
Add project constraints until the sketch is fully constrained.
NOTE Depending on how accurately you sketched the path, you may need to
add other constraints. Experiment until your sketch is fully constrained. If you
have difficulty, delete the sketch and try again.
