Having problems with extrude

I am having problems with Extrusion 12. I am trying to get BOTH sides of the rectangle to extrude at the same angle of 15 degrees. Extrude wants to have both sides go triangular shaped, which isn't what I want, and seems illogical for a draft angle.

If this is what you want, then Draft (in German called Formschräge) is the tool.

I have used Draft 2 times - one tor the inner side and 1 for the outer side of the frame.

Edit:
Addendum:
as Harold mentioned a few threads ago, with this method the wall thickness differs from your sketch thickness:

Use a Sweep to create the flange. Then you can control the thickness, height and angle in the sketch.

Thanks. I forgot about the draft command. I only needed it once.

I use the equation editor, but in this case, I didn't want to parameterize the measurements.

My only problem was that I forgot about the draft command. I used it and it worked fine.

I still don't know why the draft on the extrude worked as it did. It was counter intuitive. It should have worked the way the draft command works.
