6 Apply a tangent constraint to the arc and line at the left side of the sketch.
7 Apply equal constraints to the radii of the three arcs.
Your sketch should look like the following figure.
8 In the graphics background, right-click and click Finish Sketch to exit
the sketch.
Do not save the file.
Tips for Constraining Sketches
■ Turn off automatic constraints. Press and hold CTRL while sketching.
■ Infer a constraint. Move the cursor over other geometry while sketching
to infer a constraint.
■ Define dimensions with equations. Double-click a dimension to open the
Edit Dimension dialog box. Click the reference geometry, and its dimension
identifier appears on the dialog box. You can use the dimension identifier
in a mathematical expression (for example, D1*2). Dimensions that are
based on equations are marked with the fx: prefix.
■ Override the units on a particular dimension. For example, in a part file
set to metric dimensions, you can enter 1 inch on the Edit Dimension
dialog box.
