Rather than draw four more circles and dimension each of them we are going to draw one and create an 'array' - a quick way to replicate shapes accurately.
Draw another circle in the far right corner, it should be 5mm in diameter, and 5mm from the side and the end. It should look exactly like mine.
In the browser bar double click on 'Extrusion 1' and you should get the option box that we had when we created the extrusion, we now want to edit the extrusion so the cuboid is only 5mm thick, to do this change the number in the distance box to 5, like in my screen above.
Press Escape on your keyboard to ensure you have no tool selected. Now click on the original middle line, it should go red. Now with the line still selected click the 'Construction' button on the top menu, this will turn the line from a solid line into a dashed line.
Check your screen look exactly like mine.
Use the General Dimension tool to move the circle to the middle of the rectangle. To do this we need to click three times - once on the long edge of the rectangle (it will turn red when your mouse is over it), then once on the centre of the circle (again it will show up in red when you mouse over) then once more away from the end of the cuboid to place the dimension.
42 steps, what a coincidence! We're finished with the step by step tutorial, if you've done everything correctly then your domino should look like this one. If not then go back to see where you might have made a mistake, feel free to leave a comment if you want help - an accompanying screenshot would help too.
If you found that easy then go ahead an try modelling something else, or make some changes to this domino to make it look like the one in my next slide.

Still in Free Rotate mode try clicking and dragging while the mouse is outside of the circle - you will find you can rotate the object.
Something else you will need to do is Zoom - this means changing how far away the viewer is from the object, you can get a magnified or diminished view of the part. An easy way of doing this is by spinning the mouse wheel. Try moving the mouse to the top right of the screen and spinning the mouse wheel forwards, then spin it backwards. Now move the mouse to the bottom left of the screen and spin the wheel - did you see what happened? Now you have a lot of great ways of moving the object around the screen to allow you to see any aspect of it.
Once you've clicked on the number you should see a screen like mine and be able to use the box to change the dimension. Type in 50 in to the box. Inventor is probably set up to use mm by default on your system so you don't need to type the units. Click the tick to confirm and watch your rectangle change length. Notice that the other side changes as well.
