Hello everyone, 👋

I need a shape like in the pictures below. But whatever I did, I couldn’t draw it. 🤦‍♂️ This is a CR2032 battery cover. It is a very complicated drawing for a beginner like me. How can I draw this kind of shape in the easiest way?

Good work Mike. That’s much more effective and easier to do than my effort. But I may as well post it now that’s it’s done.
