What project thickness does one use in Designer when using a sled or jig to hold a project? For example, if the project board is 1/2" thick and the sled/jig base is 3/4", does one use 1/2" or 1 1/4" in Designer for thickness?
Thanks,

You need the thickness of the sled base plus the project.

Actually thickness in designer doesn't matter.
I'd use the thickness of the actual board so I could set up depths correctly for my design. When the CW carves it will measure the thickness and use that and ignore what you put in designer.
