Instant 3d - Extrude to Cut extrude ?
John Layne
have a question regarding instant 3d.
With instant 3d when I drag a boss in the opposite direction to which it was
orginally extruded it becomes a cut extrude. Is there a way to keep it as an
extrude rather than becoming a cut extrude?
I've read through the help and the only way I can find is to drop out of
instant 3d and edit the feature and flip the direction of the extrude. I was
hoping that all I had to do was hold down the shift or ctrl key and then
drag the instant 3d handle to produce an extrude in the other direction, no
such luck am I missing something?

No John
That's the way it works.....extrude in one direction and cut extrude
in the other direction

Thanks for the answer, not the answer I was hoping for!
I often draw the sketch on the face/plane that I need to extrude from to
capture the design intent. Being able to easlily toggle whether it is an
extrude or cut seems like an easy and obvious option for SolidWorks to
include.
