17. Can you create a Block using a line/ Is it possible to extrude a Line or Open
profile using PAD.
Yes, you can create a block using line. when you are extruding a line or any open profile you
can check thick option in Pad feature (to avoid Error message). You can Give limit one ,
Limit Two and Thickness one and two. You will get Block from line and thin sheet from any
open profile.
Note: Don’t use this option to create a sheet metal part using part design.
