Inventor 2018 - What's New: Extrude Distance from Face

By Clint Brown

Another enhancement to Autodesk Inventor 2018 is the addition of the "Distance from Face" option in the extrude command.

This new feature allows users to extrude profiles from any face parallel to the sketch, giving the user much more flexibility, allowing for sketch re-use and new workflow options.

The animated GIF below shows the new feature in action.
