First 2d drawing in Vectorworks

In my Design for Digital Fabrication class we’re starting out with 2d vector drawings. I’ve used Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape for vector drawings in the past, but I’m new to Vectorworks. I’ve already found some very useful functions missing in other programs like the ability to auto-measure and label parts. So nice!

We were asked to create a 2d drawing of an existing object. My parents are restoring an old card catalog that has plastic handles. about 1/3 of them are broken, but they haven’t found a supplier for them yet. I’m going to try to 3d print it. But first, a 2d drawing.

I’m not sure I represented to curve properly, as you can see in the photo below. (Note: This image is not the actual handle, but it’s very similar if not the same)
