This project is in mm and the material is Cast Alloy Steel. At first, I sketched out the front view with the center rectangle, 100mm long and 25mm wide, corner rectangle along the top of the center rectangle, 130.50mm long and 35mm wide. Then found the midpoint the left side on a rectangle and placed a construction line of 95.5 mm, on which I constructed a centerpoint straight slot, 48mm long and 11mm wide, using the smart dimensions, I measured 30.5mm from the left side of the corner rectangle to the 1st slot point and then I made sure the measurements from the top line to the middle of the slot equals to 17.5mm. I connected a line to the open point of the construction line to the top of the corner rectangle, which should be 17.5mm from the construction line to the top of the corner rectangle. Then measure the new made line to the right side of the corner rectangle, which should be 35mm. I deleted the bottom right line of the corner of the rectangle, measured a 4mm extending from the center rectangle, top line. Then constructed a line, which is connected to the 4mm open point to the random placement of the ride side of the corner rectangle. I measured 45 degrees between the randomly constructed line and the line on the right of the corner rectangle. After the smart dimensions are placed, I used a trim entities to cut out the hanging line of the right side of the corner rectangle. There should be an automatic measurement of the 8.5mm on the top right side of the corner rectangle. I placed a line from the previously constructed line for the slot horizontally to the side on the angled line. Then I mirrored that top side to the bottom half. And last for the sketch, I measured 5mm from the left side of all rectangles and trimmed out everything that was inside.
Now for the 3D model, I extruded (mid plane) the center rectangle first, 25mm. Then I started another sketch on the front plane and using the converted entities and trim entities I picked the top and bottom corner rectangles and slots except the individual top right and bottom pieces (small rectangles with a 45 degree angle on the bottom right side of them), and extruded it to 12mm. Then I did the same for the rest. The small right-side rectangles extrude to 19mm, the last 5mm long piece is to 8.5mm. Then cut (from the front view) left side by 10mm deep and 5mm long. And finally, I applied 2mm fillet.
