2. Create a new sketch over Top Plane.

3. Draw the vertical/horizontal construction lines.

4. Create sketches with the help of Circle tool, Center Point Arc tool, and Line tool.

5. Use Add Relations and dimensions to fully defined the sketches as displayed.

7. Activate the ‘Extruded Boss/Base’ tool and select a sketch profile to create a solid feature.

8. Enter the value in the Depth field for Direction 1 to define the depth of the model.

9. Click Reverse Direction button to extend the feature in the opposite direction from that shown in the preview.

10. Save the part file with the name ‘Engine Con Rod’.

11. Change the colour of model to Polished Steel.

12. Next create another sketch over the top face of the model and create another Extrude feature as displayed.

13. If you want to create a new work plane on the middle of the part, activate the Plane tool and select top face of part and bottom face of part a plane is automatically created on the middle of the part.

14. Mirror of Boss-Extrude2 feature on the basis of Plane1 by using 'Mirror' tool.
