Hi Tom, so to extrude with a predefined distance you can set the following up on a shortcut key:

extrude distanceinput=10

But right now it's not possible to do that with an additional draft angle set though since the extrude command exits as soon as a distance value has been set. I'll see what I can do about that.

Thank you Michael !

DonĀ“t bother with it takes to much of your time, I had thougt it would be
just a short aditional line in the html file.

Just working on a series of endless objects with the same angle / length -
extrude parameters so it would be a little tiem saver to have a default
option ...

Hi Tom, one thing that could help is to use this to automate pushing the tapered button and draft angle:

extrude tapered draftangle=20

Then you would only need to type in the distance.

Also don't need to do these one by one you can select a large number of closed curves and do them all in one go of the Extrude command.
