Can I Add More Than One Announcement To Service Desk

Yes, @HughesTooling has got it right. This is an interplay betwixt Fusion's feature/pick and the "think last value" which was added this summer some time, I think.

Here's the background: Fusion previews the "real" operation on the model. That is, instead of producing some kind of temporary preview, and leaving the existing model in its original state until you hit OK, it really temporarily executes the operation on the model. Only, this creates a problem for us software developers. In some commands, the preview generates new model entities that are actually temporary. Or, to say it more accurately, these edges cannot exist selected in the same operation as the one that created them. I always employ Fillet as an example in explaining this:

Fusion cannot create a fillet that fillets the original edge plus the introduced border in the same operation.

So, we had to cake choice of those "new" edges during the command that creates them. You could argue that "that's just a affair of writing code to identify those new edges and cake them". Maybe, mayhap non. Let's just say it turned out to exist harder than information technology might seem.

So, we added this notion of "rollback for selection". Where if you hold down CTRL (CMD for those Mac-inclined), nosotros suppress the preview, and allow you select more than edges. Why CTRL? Well, the justification at the time was "nearly O/S's have this paradigm where CTRL select adds to the option set, so if we are going to add, information technology seems similar CTRL is a natural place to put this option rollback". Let'due south just say that this has been controversial, even within the Fusion team. This has been an ongoing argue for 4 years or more, with passions near that of the "gun rights vs. gun control" debate in the Usa :). At that place have been lots of other options proposed, merely nothing has ever jumped out at us as "this is the answer!".

Anyway, I digress... How information technology works today: Any fourth dimension there is a valid preview in a command, the only way to select more things is by belongings downwards CTRL/CMD. So, the first fourth dimension you create a Chamfer, the default value is 0. You can select all the edges you lot want without CTRL. Simply, every bit soon equally you drag or blazon a value, and so you in that preview country and have to use CTRL to select more than. Then, say y'all select five edges, and apply a value of 5mm, click OK. After the enhancement this summer, that 5mm will at present exist the new default value. And so, if you invoke Chamfer again, as before long as you select the first edge, the command will apply that 5mm value, and then you lot are in the preview state.

Well, that was a long-winded explanation of a question that was already answered!
