Extended Name Information for Browser Features - Thicken

[Heathos88]

Extended Name information for the dimensions of the Thicken feature would be nice. Available for fillets, extrusions, holes etc.

Extended information is very useful for those that don't already use it:

turn 'Show Extended Names' on

This would be helpful. At present you have to select a feature to view the information, but this would be easier, and would allow you to view multiple values at the same time

Another option that could be combined with this would be to show parameter names that relate to each operation.

Hi everyone,

I was about to post a similar idea when I found this post.

I've seen the status changed to "ACCEPTED", a few month ago so I will wait patiently to see it appears in an update in the very near future :).

I don't know how developers will implement it but my request would go a little further than @Heathos88 one.

In addition to the the parameter, specify whether it is a thicken (automatic blend ticked off) or an offset (automatic blend ticked on) would be very helpful.

This screencast (made before finding this post) illustrates that request.

Thanks for reading.
