Step 20Extrude Boss Dialog
The sketch selected in the Sketch box should be the current sketch containing the rectangle. If the sketch is not currently active from being created or edited, pick in the sketch dialog box and then select the sketch in the Design Explorer.
In the Extrude Boss Window under Type:, use the drop down to select MidPlane as the type of extrusion. This is keeping with best practice of constructing symmetrically about the reference planes.
In the Depth section, Select the ... box after the Depth parameter to modify the parameter using the Equation Editor.
In the Equation Editor, Select the Modify button (or Alt+M) to modify the current parameter.
Change the parameter name to Thick. This is a common shortening of Thickness for easier naming relating to the thickness of parts
Change the parameter Equation value to 3/4, for a 3/4" thick part.
Select OK to close the Modify dialog box and accept the changes.
Select OK to close the Equation Editor dialog box and return to the Extrude Boss dialog.
Specify the Label of the part as Board or Part, and select the OK button.
Avoid specific names like Rail for the feature, as you will often re-use parts and most likely save this same part as Stile with only a few changes of parameter values.
The file name for the part is what is displayed in the Design Explorer as well as the Bill of Material, and not the name of the particular feature that creates the board. It can be disconcerting to users who open a part named Stile and find the main feature named Rail.
