It seems there are two methods to enter the data for Extrude and Revolve (I'm not sure about the other 3d features because I never use them). One is sort of for "Novice" users (the standard rectangular dialog box), the other for "Advanced" (the fancy "pill-box"-type floating dialog). Why not have an option to have either Novice and / or Advanced dialog pops which can determine which style the user wants to appear on a regular basis. Having both pop-up when I mainly use one style or another (rarely both), becomes quite annoying. I'm only new to Inventor, so maybe I'm missing something here.
