@jacques_chaurette please take a look at the second part studio of this document: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e9b7c9ec7a6be8c12ed4f510/w/fdccace106c7e82ca6c61933/e/64c3e2c9d0f395de332df304
You will need to make a private copy in order to edit sketch one. You have to dimension the line with respect to the origin. Is sounds like you need some training in getting started with cad. We have some great online resources for you to get started here: https://www.onshape.com/learn-cad-online5
