Creating Extruded cut in Pro/Engineer Wildfire 3.0
You can use the Extrude tool to remove material by projecting a sketched section normal to the sketching plane. You can use open or closed sections to
create a cut. Removing material using a closed section creates a slot. To create a cut, use the same depth options as for extruded protrusions.
This tutorial explains how to create an extruded cut on a solid. Follow the steps as shown below:
1) Let us open a new part file and start creating a sketch. Click on button in the
sketch toolbar, to invoke "Rectangle" command or go to "Sketch>>Rectangle" menu and select
the command as shown in figure 1. {Follow first 4 steps in
