  3. Select first the sketch and then the line using Ctrl.
    Important: The selection order determines the modification behavior. Select the element to be modified first and then the element defining the constraints.
  4. Select Robot and Upper dimension .

  5. To manipulate the geometry, drag the Robot translator.
    The extruded surface is created in direction of the line.

  6. Press Esc to undo the last manipulation.
  7. Select both end points of the sketch using Ctrl and click Create Line in the context toolbar.
    A line is created between the corner points.
