This is my first post and I am new to CAD in general, as well as LibreCAD.  To be honest I find all of these drawing applications counter-intuitive but I know it's just a matter of getting my head around the basics and it will click.

I have a drawing that was provided to me, which I am attempting to either resize two existing rectangles and place them in a specific spot on the drawing, mirrored.  Or just delete them and create two new mirrored specific sized rectangles (.122" x 2.248") and place them in a specific spot on the drawing.

I know how to draw a new rectangle, that part is simple but making it or resizing an existing one to a specific dimension and locating it in a specific spot is the part I am struggling with.

I have done the google thing and looked through the forum but none of the how to videos or threads I looked at cover this specific.  Any assistance is appreciated
