Freecad is an open source CAD program to create your own designs or drawing in 2D or 3D environment. You can download it, if you want to try. I have different video tutorials to learn how to use freecad.
This technical drawing can be used in CAD programs to practice.
Part is created by mirror command. Firstly half of part is created on part design and 2D sketch, then mirror command is used to reflect other half. We can use mirrored to create symmetric drawings as a short way.
Technical drawing is below that used in video tutorial.
Part Design Mirrored command creates a new object (image) which is a reflection of the original object (source). The image object is created behind a mirror plane. The mirror plane may be standard plane (XY, YZ, or XZ), or any plane parallel to a standard plane.
If you want, you can change planes or direction according to technical drawing or your preference. To use it, just follow simple steps below.
Select the object from the Mirroring Panel list.
Select a standard Mirror plane from the dropdown menu.
Press OK to create mirrored object.
When you watch video tutorial below, You will see how to create part above and mirror in freecad.

FreeCAD part design tutorials will continue and you can see here more technical drawing with detail explanations. If you subscribe my youtube channel, Tutorials can be seen easily.
This is 20th part design tutorial of technical drawing.
All dimensions are clear to create this part design which is shown in technical drawing. When you watch video tutorial, you will see all details of contraints.

FreeCAD has no Rib button like other CAD programs. Thats why you need to create a rib by drawing according to technical drawing. There are ways to create a rib; first way is by using a plane. I show it in this video. Second way without using a plane. This is easy one. After 2D design, you only change position of sketch.
When you change direction or angle of sketch in FreeCAD, we usually change Z direction and don't forget to use mid plane. When you watch video, you will understand better.
Technical Drawing of this video tutorial.
Video tutorial is below. I advise to you watch video to understand how to create a rib easily in FreeCAD.

This technical drawing is created for CAD programs like Catia, Solidworks, FreeCAD, Inventor etc. You can practice for education.
To create this part in FreeCAD, Mirror,copy,symmetry,construction geometry and lock constraint commands in 2D sketch. Then pad,fillet and pocket command in 3D part design workbench.
This tutorial is created for beginners. Not only FreeCAD but also other CAD program users can create easily,when you watch tutorial video.
If you want to watch video how to create this part, You can watch video below.
The Symmetry Constraint centers two selected points to be symmetrical around a given line, i.e., both selected points are constrained to lie on a normal to the line through both points and are constrained to be equidistant from the line. Alternatively it can constrain two points to be symmetric with respect to a third point.
You can only use it with tree points or two points and a line. Symmetry button has an two important advantages. First one, It centers to drawings in 2D sketch. Second one is it helps to use less constraint like center, point and dimension.
If you want to understand better how to use it, You should watch my video below. Also I add technical drawing of video to practice with it.
Video of this drawing is below. Don't forget to watch my video. You will understand how symmetry button works in FreeCAD.
If I tell you how symmetry button works shortly. Firstly draw a line or geometric shape. Then follow steps below. There are two working principle of this constraint button.
Click the symmetry button first: select the first point, then the symmetry reference point, and finally the second point.
Click the symmetry button last: select the first point, then the second point, and finally the symmetry reference point.
