How can I define this width to be more than 0.29 without the entire sketch messing up?

Hello.

I have the following sketch, which is an old one I'm updating to add an extra tab.

That 0.29 is something I want to define to be bigger, but if I do, the entire thing gets messed up. I don't know what other restrictions I can add to make it work as it should.

    For starters, your lines are all blue which means the sketch is not fully constrained. I would start by fully constraining then work from there.

    you must learn and use constraints to develop relationships in your sketch and control what is allowed to move and how.
