Extruding multiple Components

 

When extruding a Sketch object, I often do a number of similar extrudes. While I get that the Extrusion Dialog is guessing what you want, such as a Cut or Join, based on conditions, it infuriates me that if I want to make a bunch of components, the Extrusion type doesn't just stay on the previous (Component) selection. 


After I choose Component for one Extrusion, why not make that my NEW DEFAULT type so I don't have to keep selecting Component?

 

Alternatively,  add a "Make Default" or "Keep Tool" checkbox near the drop-down menu.

Naming New Components from the Browser

Related to that, when I choose "New Component" in the Browser, I expect to begin typing the Component name, but have to click twice to get into text edit mode. I often start typing and start executing commands instead o=f renaming my new Component!

 

I can understand that if someone doesn't choose to rename their components, it may take another click to close text edit mode. But isn't it better to encourage best practices by making them easier to use instead of harder?

 

I would love to see some streamlining in these areas.

Thank you.
