Can't define this sketch

Can't define this sketch for the life of me. Would anyone have any ideas?

Dimensions.

(Also missing Tangent constraints.)

The first thing I would have done is move the Canvas such that the Origin is at a logical location.

Edit: Also check the scale of your imported canvas image - when I start adding the missing dimensions the image is tiny.

Hi,

1. position and calibrate canvas

Thanks for the reply. It still doesn't make the sketch lines black though? I think maybe I haven't contained it correctly? But I am unsure

Calibration merely creates an "approximately" dimensionally accurate basis for the creation of sketches.

However, the conditions for the sketch elements must be defined by the creator via dimensions and constraints.

As  @TheCADWhisperer has already said, it is necessary to orientate the sketch at the origin.

Attach your new file here with the added dimensions.
