name	swpilotcli-feature-extrude-boss
description	Extrude the active sketch outward to create a Boss-Extrude solid feature. Must be called while a sketch is active in editing mode. Use after sketch-on-face + sketch-draw to build up solid geometry.

swpilotcli-feature-extrude-boss

Extrude the currently active sketch to create a Boss-Extrude feature (adds material).

Prerequisites

• SolidWorks is running with an active Part document
• A sketch must be active in editing mode (run sketch-on-face then sketch-draw first)

Usage

dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-feature-extrude-boss/scripts/ExtrudeBoss/ExtrudeBoss.csproj -- <depth_mm>

Arguments

Arg	Description
depth_mm	Extrusion depth in millimetres (e.g. 10)

Examples

# Extrude active sketch 10mm
dotnet run ... -- 10

# Extrude 25.5mm
dotnet run ... -- 25.5

How it works

1. Reads depth_mm from command-line argument
2. Calls FeatureExtrusion3 (Blind, single direction, sketch-plane start)
3. Calls EditRebuild3 and GraphicsRedraw2

Notes

• This tool exits sketch mode as part of creating the feature
• For cutting material instead of adding it, use extrude-cut
• Typical flow: sketch-on-face → sketch-draw → extrude-boss
