Determine the taper angle of the extrusion. Press the Enter key to accept the default angle of 0°.
After specifying the taper angle, the selected outlines are extruded.
Extrusions can be used immediately without saving them, for example as a process (notch) on a bar.
You can save an extrusion or modify its properties. For this, double click the extrusion and go through the required options in the Dialog box ATHENA Extrusion.
