Need help drawing a post clamp

[csbrads]

Looking for help drawing this post clamp.  The post diameter is 3 inches and the wing is 4 inches wide.  The height is one inch with .125 wall thickness.  I can draw the left side but, can't get the interlocking piece correct.  Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have another Photo of the parts square on?...Will you 3D print?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file of your attempt to model the geometry to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Do you know how to fully define a sketch?

[csbrads]

I don't have a different picture I grabbed it online.  Yes , I will 3d print .  Thanks

Here is what I have drawn so far.

Where are your sketch dimensions?

Why did you sketch "circles" as a series of straight lines (did you even do this in Fusion)?

See Attached for some ideas...

@csbrads 

Have you gone through the built-in Tutorials?

[csbrads]

Cad Whisperer, thanks for your assistance.  I sketched this up originally in Aspire, cnc software  I exported it as a dfx and it interpreted the offset line as a bunch of circles when it imported.  I am still trying to learn fusion and need to spend more time on the tutorials.

Thanks

Sir, thanks again for drawing this for me.  I have a question though.  The part you drew fits a 2-3/8, I need it for a 3 inch post.  I know how to scale it to fit, however I also need to change the thickness of the  .063 wall to .125.  I know how to do that also.   I cant figure out how to fix the tail where the two parts interlock once I change the wall thickness, can you help with that?  I am 3d printing this and need a little more strength.

Thanks again.

Don't scale anything.

Edit the sketch dimensions.

Make the edits that you know how to do and then Attach your file here.

Ok, I changed the diameter to 3.125, I changed the wall thickness to .125.  I changed the wing wall thickness to .188.

I can't find how to edit the top flange wall thickness where it is bolted together and the interlocking piece.

Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

Did you Edit any of the dimensions in Sketch2?

Does Extrude6 indicate an unresolved issue highlighted on the Timeline?
