Your sketch has only one reference to its origin.

 

Its symmetric, but you are not using symmetry.  

Too many dimensions and not enough constraints.

These 4 dimensions are missing, (3mm on bottom rectangle was not highlighted.)

Attach to the origin, makes it easier.

Why did you draw it twice?  Most of your sketch has overlapping construction lines, and overlapping centres.

Anyone checking the file will chase their tail till they find all those duplicates and remove them.

Well, I didn't know you had to remove construction lines. I was just drawing over the top of them. Don't confuse me with anyone that knows what they are doing.

Found it! The far-right arc was not touching the lower line.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

P.S. As suffocated as this program is I'm surprised there is not an "Audit" button that would find this type of error.

P.S.S. Why is it bad to draw over construction lines?

Ever tried to dimension both lines?

 

Fusion will be trying to construct constraints and relationship to everything in the sketch, 

so why draw over a construction line, if you convert it to normal type, would that work?
