By default the depth option is set to blind to create the first extrusion.
For each new part created, users have to change the depth option to "Symetric" to create the first extrusion.

It would be good to have the possibility to configure Creo to set by default the extrusion

 of a  part as symetric

Ot at least make its settings be saved from feature to feature. IE, make the dialog boxes modal.

Finding a default setting that satisfies everyone may be hard.

I like the idea of making the setting modal for that session of Creo. The user can set their method and always have it for any extrudes they create during the current session.

I would also like the default setting to be set in a config.pro setting. Each company can set their preferred method with the users allowed to override it to their own choice in a local config.pro.
