Please post your part, (or a dummy with the same problem) and Inventor option. It is easier for forum members to help if they have access to the native Inventor files.
Design intent question: Why are you extruding this flat bar in a angle iron part? I would normally do this as two separate part files, then combine in an assembly file.

It appears that you're trying to create this extrusion in an assembly file, not in a part file. Assembly extrusions can only remove material, not create material. You will need to create a new part, create a sketch, then extrude it. Then place it in your assembly and constrain it to the angle.
