End result:

Currently, the "From/To" mode for Extrusions allows us to extrude between two Planes, or between a Plane and a Point, but not between two Points. We can select a Point for the "To" selection, but not the "From" selection. Please enable selecting a Point for the From selection so that we can extrude between points without having to create extra work geometry or features.

 

This is especially useful for skeletal and multi-body modeling workflows like shown in the pictures above.

Recreation of this idea by @andrewdrothMake 'Between Points' an Available Selection for an Extrusion. I recreated with a slightly different presentation and pictures, with the hopes that it may bring in a few more votes.

Yes, please! It's just another one of those bizarre things Inventor won't let you do.

Absolutely this should be a thing. I don't know why it's not. Make it so.

Ah, the good old Inventor catch phrase.
