Why can't I extrude a projected (Use) curve?

The model is here, I made a sketch on one of the primary planes, then clicked Use (project/convert) to project the profile of a gear. when I exit the sketch and click Extrude, the profile curve is not selectable. Why?

    If the contour is not shaded, you can't extrude it. What are you trying to do? Would be quicker just to skip the sketch altogether and just extrude the gear face.
