  3. Set the dimensions of the rectangle to 75x15mm and the width/height of each circle to 20mm (i.e. 20mm diameter)

  4. Ensure the rectangle and circle stroke style are all set to "hairline" (Object > Fill & Stroke to open the right panel, then select the Stroke Style tab and select "hairline" from the width's units dropdown).

  5. Drag the circles so they hang over either side off the rectangle.
