Can't open this part anyway. 'version9' is missing.
I'm assuming this is a derived part?
You need to either break or suppress the link, or include version9 as well.

Expert Elite Inventor Certified ProfessionalI returned to my computer and it had loaded, but is unresolved.
You have gaps in your sketch, so that's not a good start. Where has the 3D sketch come from? Is that projected from the part that is missing?

Expert Elite Inventor Certified ProfessionalThis is not connected either.

Expert Elite Inventor Certified ProfessionalOnce your sketch is fixed so it's a complete loop, you can use ruled surface to extrude the loop.
Depending on what you want to do next, you can split the part. cut the part, thicken the surface and cut that, turn the surface into a solid and cut the lot out. It's up to you.
I used the UCS Y Axis as the vector.
P.S. in ruled surface you need the third option down on the left as shown in the image above.

Expert Elite Inventor Certified ProfessionalOK, to get the 2mm cut you want.
I had to use two ruled surfaces, one in each direction because your 3D sketch is not quite in the right place.
Use the ruled surface to split the face (once with each ruled surface).
If you turn off the visibility of the surfaces, you should now have this:
Then try thicken/offset
Is this the shape you want?
You'll need to clean up your geometry first for this to work properly.

Accepted solution
Alternatively, if this is a socket and another part is fitting into it, a much easier way is to use this method:

How to cut profiles into other parts that are too difficult to do with a simple cut. Can also be done with imported geometry.

Depending on where that sketch is coming from, you could just put it on an offset plane as 2d and extrude it into the part as a surface, split and thicken. Then you don't even need a 3d sketch.

Is it pointing in the right direction and is it set to cut as shown in my

Expert Elite Inventor Certified ProfessionalMaybe, I can't check until tomorrow night though

Expert Elite Inventor Certified ProfessionalHere it is. Bare in mind that I did this to demonstrate how to do it. I butchered your sketches to get them working so it won't be the exact shape you were after.
