Creating Emboss Features
Emboss features are text sketch profiles extruded on part models. A text
sketch profile is one line of text displayed in a rectangular boundary.
To create a text sketch profile, you define a font and a style, and enter one
line of text. Then you place the text on an active sketch plane on your part,
and extrude it to emboss the surface of your part with the text.
Delete the thin extrusion from your shell part.
