    Not sure I understand but....

    Using the line sketch tool, draw a vertical line, switch to arc mode (by
    pressing a or mousing back over the last endpoint and pulling away), draw
    your first arc, click to end it, keep drawing your second arc, trying to
    approximate the general scale and position you want. Switch back to line
    mode, draw your horizontal line.

    Now use the dimension tool to define a different radius for each arc.
    Assign tangency between arcs and lines if not already there.

    Dennis,
    Either fillet one corner. ESC out of the fillet command. Then start
    the fillet command again, but this time change the fillet dimension to
    the new value.

    ---OR---

    Fillet both, then ESC out of the fillet command. Now remove the
    "Equal" (or is it "Equal to"?) relation between the 2 fillets. Now
    you can dimension them sepatately.

    Is that what you're looking for?
