Dialog Box

[JoelMckone]

Is there any way to change the size of the 'Extrude' dialog box?  The usual grab a corner and drag does not seem to work.  This is rather frustrating as I am working with equations that are longer than the space given to enter a dimension which makes it difficult to ensure the equation is correct.  It also seems to limit the copy function to what is visible in the box.

Hi JoelMckone,

I don't know of any way to do so. But recall that you can use the Parameter Editor to add/edit parameter formulas as well,

I'll typically just add an extrusion value of Height = 3.333333333333333333 or something obvious and then jump into the parameter editor to replace that value with a formula.

3.333333333333333333 just makes it easier for me to find when many parameters are present, without me having to think too hard.

Not sure if that helps your workflow or not.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
