In this section a rectangle will be sketched on the XY plane with one corner at the origin. First click on the Sketching tab, , then click on the Rectangle button, . Next,move the mouse over the origin until a "P" appears and click once, then move the cursor somewhere else in the first quadrant and click again. The "P" indicates that the cursor is coincident with a point (in our case, the origin).
Dimensioning
The dimensions of the rectangle will now be specified. First, click on the Dimensions tab, . Next, click on the left vertical line of your rectangle, move the mouse to the left, then click again. This will create a label for this edge's dimension. We'll specify the actual value of the dimension a little later. Similarly, click on the top horizontal line of your rectangle, move the mouse up and click again. Your screen should now look similar to the image below.
