Please bear with me as I'm still very new to CAD and don't have all of my terminology down.

============
I have the attached project (Keypad_Box.FCStd) that I would like to make a change to. Specifically, I would like to add a lip around "Pocket_Keypad_Cutout". To do that, I would think I would need to take the following steps:
- Create a new sketch named "Sketch_Keypad_Mount" on the XZ plane that references "Sketch_Keypad_Cutout", via external geometry, that is the desired width and height (in this case, the new sketch would be 3.5mm longer in both height and width relative to "Sketch_Keypad_Cutout") (See Keypad_Box_With_New_Sketch.FCStd)
- Pad the newly created sketch (named "Pad_Keypad_Mount") to the desired thickness (in this case, 6.5mm reversed) (See "Keypad_Box_With_New_Pad.FCStd")
- Apply "Pocket_Keypad_Cutout" after the newly created sketch
So, can I please get some guidance on the proper way to edit a project? Are my first two steps correct or should I be doing something completely different?
My apologies if the above doesn't make sense or if I'm screwing up terminology. Please let me know if I can clarify anything or if you have any questions.
Thank you in advance!
