Default Malto Dextrine

Does Malto Dextrine have to be added to the wort boil or can it be boiled by itself and added to the primary (or secondary)?

You can even add it to the priming bucket, if an ale needs more body. I'm thinking about that for my Bent Rod Rye. It has 6 oz. of dextrine malt, but it's not where I want it.

6 oz is a lot. I try to keep my MD usage below 1. I think it makes some brews too thick.

It is best added at start of boil but as others said you can add it at any time and still get same effect.

Dosn't it make the body of a beer thicker and the beer sweeter?

not sweeter (if it does I never noticed) I use it in beers that would normally ferment out to 1.009 or below to add body and mouth feel. or where you want more body but not necessarily more sweetness.
