Hi Hans! Appreciate the comment! You are absolutely correct, you could use a center point rectangle and achieve the same result. There are 2 reasons why I didn’t in this tutorial: 1. I wanted to get the viewer comfortable with the fundamental logic behind the center point rectangle … that you can find the center of any rectangular area by locating the midpoint of the diagonal, which is a super important tool as you continue to build on your geometry. 2. I’ll admit this is a bit of a habit for me…. When I learned 3D modeling the center point rectangle tool didn’t exist yet lol. Thanks again!
While things do change over time, when I drew a rectangle by choosing an upper left and lower right, my rectangle was already constrained. I could not click on an edge and alter its size or shape. Is this due to a change in Fusion, or might I have a setting different from yours? My rectangle edges are all light blue. And after adding a dimension to the horizontal and vertical edges, my colors remain the lighter blue with no highlight due to hovering but only by selecting a line after selecting the dimension tool does it change to the darker blue. v2.0.18460
Hmmm that’s a tricky one, sometimes Fusion will automatically apply constraints you don’t want depending on where you click… try toggling the show/hide constraints in the sketch to see if that helps / shows any constraints you may not have expected

I find your tutorials an immense help in learning about Fusion 360. Thank you so much for your valuable time.
Wow! You are a very good teacher. You’re good at simplifying the complicated. Thank you for this!!
That is a really nice compliment! Thank you and I’m glad to hear the tutorial was helpful!
Thank you so much! I'll be watching all your videos on Fusion 360! All my support from Argentina
Really helpful - thank you.
Really useful and easy to follow, thank you!
Awesome - thanks for the help!
This is great! TY!
One question: why not use the center rectangle ? And for the rest just a big compliment on this tutorial Big thumbs up and subscribe

Best practice is to create a component first,
There will be less clutter in your browsers.
This is a habit you must get into because as projects grow you can't add joints to bodies and it will be a nightmare.
