Socket design (left shape case)

Hello @Silver_Surfer if possible it would be nice to post a screenshot to visualize the method used in your file. Thank you.

Hi @Sylk,
Can you please specify? The method for what?
If ever, the files have been made available for download in 2024 version.

Just for those who, like me, can't read the file with their old SW. But don't feel obligated.

This forum is there to help each other... If people start saying, " I'd like to help..." But now I don't want to." So here it is:

It's likely that this is the method I would have used to do this.

I didn't insist on a file because it's 2020.
Images are a more universal complement. Thank you.
