Draw an offset of 200mm from the inner circle to determine the position of chairs.
Draw lines along the diameter of the bigger circle.
Drawing chairs:
Draw a rectangle with command "REC" giving dimensions as 400 mm and 200 mm.
Draw an arc with start-centre and end method with the end points and centre of the side(400mm) of rectangle.
Draw another rectangle of 55mm x100mm for the handle of the chair Command: "REC" -select the base point and click on dimension and give as 55mm and 100mm.
Copy it on the other side so that both handles are formed.
Fillet the corner of rectangle by 50mm Command "O”- give the fillet radius as 50mm and select the two lines. and trim off the unwanted line.
Move the chair and place it such a way that it touches the offset 200mm circle. By using Command "M"- select the base point and move it.
Mirror the chair to the opposite side -Command "MI" - select the base point and draw the reference line where we need to mirror.
Rotate the chair and move it so that the chair in left side is created Command "RO" -select the base point and rotate to desired angle.
