                  5.  Create another rectangle:

                         Preprocessor -> Modeling -> Create -> Areas ->
                                Rectangle -> By Dimensions ->
                       In dialog box, enter X1, X2 X-coords = -0.25, 0.25 and
                                Y1, Y2 Y-coords = -6, -10 -> OK























                  6.  Subtract the new rectangle from the existing area to get middle slot
                     of the retaining ring:

                       Preprocessor -> Modeling -> Operate -> Booleans ->
                                     Subtract -> Areas ->
                        Using the mouse, pick the existing area -> Apply ->
                                     pick rectangle -> OK
                                Neglect warning; close. Save _DB
