(New user) I can’t seem to figure out how to draw a simple rectangle that has different length sides i.e. 40 x 41 x 3 x .5 whenever I try to change one sides dimension, it automatically changes the other parallel side with it. I’m sure it’s a simple task, but for some reason it’s not intuitive in the app.

Use the force (line tool), Luke.

Hi and Welcome,  
First, you should learn the concepts of Constraints.  
Then it will be easier to create your sketches.  
Take a look here:
