Step 9Constrain Rectangle about Y-Axis

Constrain Rectangle about Y-Axis
Constrain the Rectangle horizontally using the Symmetric constraint about the Y-axis. Select the Y-axis and the Upper Left and Upper Right corners of the rectangle.

You can select the Axis from the Design Explorer on the Left as well as from the Drawing Work area.

HINT: It is prudent to fully Constrain a sketch before dimensioning, as that will prevent the sketch from shifting with the addition of the dimensions, and in some cases prevent the sketch from distorting itself while being dimensioned.
