Will there ever be a memory for dialog boxe selections (like Extrude)?

[Anonymous]

Hello all!

My question (or suggestion) is for dialog boxes to remember your previous selections, especially in drop down boxes, and better yet, the ability to set a certain operation as default!

For example, in the Extrude dialog, I use "Two-Way" extrude MUCH more than "One-Way" and use "New Body" MUCH more than "Join" or "Cut". If I could set a default, or even better, if it remembered my last selection, it would make my life (and I am sure many others) much better.

Is this feature in process? Considered?

Thanks!

I undestand your workflow. This is a good suggestion. One-way / Two-way option can be remembered easily but for Join/Cut we try to check and find best fit considering all components and bodies around. I agree, there might be cases where User expect New body to be set/remembered option.

This can be a good cadidate for idea station. 

Thank you!

I would like to add that the sketch pattern tool would be easier if it either remembered the last type choice, extents or spacing, or have a way to select the default method.  I almost never need to patteren sketches by extents.

Hello @Anonymous,

I am the opposite - I almost always use extents!

I agree, if the pattern dialog could remember our last choice, or set a default that would be amazing as well.

If you look at the thread dialog, there is a check box to remember the thread. This is because setting up a thread over and over for a few dozen holes is tedious.

What would you think about a "remember" check box for the commands you mentioned?

If so, please comment here, and/or put up an Idea Station post. You can cross reference this post and that one for maximum votes!

Thanks,

I would LOVE a "remember" checkbox. That sounds perfect @Phil.E!
