Specify height of extrusion (2006 to 2007)???

[Forsh]

with 2006 i could select a rectangle/object to extrude and specify the height by clicking two points in the relevent view of a 2D drawing.
Now with 2007 once I select the object it defaults the first point to the centre of the rectangle and waits for the second point to be selected.

is there a setting i can change to get the input of the extrusion height as it was in 2006???

cheers

I don't know about any settings. If you are unable to find one, try using transparent quick calc (type 'qc ) and use 'Distance between two points' option. You can directly paste the value from there to the command prompt.

thanks for the reply ZH :)

but it's a long way from a two click operation it once was :(

In that case, you can use the following macro to get the 2006 functionality (unless you are using AutoCAD LT).



^C^C_Extrude;\;(getdist "Specify first point: ");\\
