How do I create a component from a sketch

[RScott9399]

so I create a sketch and a make a solid part using extrude

Now I want to use that "part" or component or whatever the right word is in other projects or even that project itself. 

How do I go from making a sketch under the "sketches" list to have a component in an assembly. For example, if I import a part from McMaster car it comes in as a component or part its not a sketch. 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Familiarize yourself with Fusion 360 R.U.L.E.#1 & 2

really cracks me up, I ask direct question and get a link to a training module instead of just answering the question!

and it still doesn't answer the question

If you would have spent more of your energy on actually reading and understanding the thread than making your last 2 posts I might have been tempted to provide further help.

Alas, that is now out of the question!

I am happy to see that you took the time to reconsider your previous post and after some introspection, you came to that self-assessment.

After all, there is might be some hope for you!

It's really quite simple. 

Step 1 is to read the documentation: https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-1C665B4D-7BF7-4FDF-98B0-AA7EE12B5AC2

Step 2 is to read what @TrippyLighting suggested.
