Stop extrude from automatically using last distance.

Not sure what happened. But my extrude keeps using the last distance I used. For example, if I extrude a face 10 mm, the next time I extrude another face, it automatically adds 10mm to the face. Or 2mm or negative 5 mm. Whatever was the last distance extruded. Did I click some setting by accident or is this part of the latest update? Have tried restarting with no luck. Annoying AF!

How did you change it before?

It used to always be 0 mm. I would either drag to the distance or enter it manually. This is the screencast link. It doesn't do it with fillet or chamfer by the way.

You can still do the same thing, either drag to the (new) distance or enter it manually.

Certainly you don't want to Extrude 0 (zero) so what good does it do to default to 0?

It would be nice if Fillet and Chamfer would remember last used value too.

I haven't used a 0 fillet or chamfer since leaving AutoCAD 2D more than a decade ago.

Looks like an enhancement to me? I certainly don't understand a benefit to 0 for Extrude, Fillet or Chamfer in solid modeling. Maybe I am missing something.

For example, if I enter in the box a cut of -33 on a face and then go somewhere else and want to do an extrude, it will automatically cut -33 on the next face by default waiting for me to hit ok. If I then drag to 10.065mm and click ok the next extrude will still be a -33 cut. It only keeps the last box entered dimension. It never did that before.

Apparently, the July update made this change. This user had the exact issue as me. I sketched a quick design last night and made a 3d print and all was normal. This morning when I loaded Fusion up, I saw the new update notification.
