7. In the the AutoCAD drawing file cut the front view of the drawing using control-C then switch to the
new part file and Paste the front view of the Geneva wheel on to the the 2D sketch on the new part
by using a Control-V.

finish sketch.
11. Extrude join the space between the hole and the circle to a distance of 0.500 inches.
