When I use the Extrude tool, I can manually toy with how much I want it to taper (draft angle), which is great, but if I use the calculator, it commits to that value without previewing it first. I recorded a video.

Also note how the Calculator keeps popping up without me wanting it.

Hi Bruno,  
If you want to see the draft angle and adjust it, try changing the value in the history step.

Thanks for the tip Bob, that’s pretty handy.

But I’d prefer to adjust the draft on the spot. Leaving the design to scroll through history disrupts my creative flow.

When designing, fewer steps make it more intuitive - the aspect I loved about earlier versions of the app.
