Creo 8 - config option to make default Extrude depth Symmetric instead of blind?

[Nicolas_G]

Hello,

Is it possible to configure Creo 8 to set by default the extrusion  of a sheet metal part as symetric  ?

Thanks,

Best regards,

If there is no config.pro setting for this, is it possible to set it in your sheet metal start part?

[Nicolas_G]

Thanks for the proposal but the function cannot be set in the start part.

One workaround for this is to create a mapkey that will execute extrude and the symmetric option and put it in the UI where you want it. You can create a custom icon and add it to the ribbon or other location in the GUI. You can of course execute it using the keyboard or other input device.

Yes, I thought about this method too if there is no other possibility.

Thanks.

If not exist it would be fine if PTC includes this possibility in Creo configuration to avoid workaround with a mapkey.

You can submit an Idea to enhance the functionality in future versions.

Thanks.
