  1. Draw a line starting from the midpoint of the angled line. The midpoint should high-
    light when you move the cursor close to it. Draw the line perpendicular to the angled
    line. A dotted yellow line appears, showing where the perpendicular lies. When you fol-
    low this line, the yellow perpendicular symbol appears on the cursor. Make this line
    approximately .25 inches long. Feedback on the cursor also shows the length of the line
    as you draw it.

  2. Draw two more lines ending at the endpoint of the sketch fillet, as shown in Figure
    3.42. Use the Inferencing lines to line up the second angled line with the end of the arc.
