We now have a blank part and we need to start a sketch. I'm going to right-click on the graphics window and select New Sketch and select the XY Plane in the origin planes. This gives us a sketch to begin with. And really the easiest way to see construction geometry created is to let Inventor do some of that work initially for you. To do that we're going to create a rectangle, but rather than use a two point rectangle, we're going to go to the Sketch tab under the Create panel and click the dropdown below Rectangle. This will expand to show all the rectangles and slots we can create, and we're going to look for the Two Point Center Rectangle. What this is going to do is create a rectangle by defining a center of the rectangle and one of its corners. During that process, Inventor's going to create construction geometry to do this…
