In addition to being able to save a Sketch as a Catalog Feature, Extrude Boss and Extrude Cut can be saved as a Catalog Feature. An Extrude Cut Catalog Feature can be used to save the extra step of Extruding the Cut after inserting a Sketch Catalog Feature. This can be useful for creating such features as the Stick and Cope profiles in Rail and Stile parts.

Signing UpStep 1: Create Solid Feature from which to Cut
Create a solid feature on which to apply your Extrude Cut. While you can create an Extrude Cut Catalog Feature without starting with a solid on which to work, annoying error messages as to the validity of the Extrude Cut Catalog Feature will make the job even more difficult.
When creating the solid on which to work with your Extrude Cut, either create the solid without dimensions, or delete the dimensions before creating the Catalog Feature. Parameters created for the solid may become part of the Extrude Cut Catalog Feature when inserted, and removing any parameters not associated with the Extrude Cut will help prevent this problem.
The Solid does not need to relate in any way to the Catalog Feature. In this case we will be creating a cope profile for a 3/4" board, yet the solid on which we will be working is just an oversized rectangular part.
