Extrude a sketch

Here's the design pattern:
1. I have a sketch to extrude
2. select upto surface, this creates a reference to the imported body which I don't want.
3. switch to blind, where did 25mm come from? it should be the upto surface distance, I don't want any references to the imported body.
Currently I have to measure the distance, write it down, then type it in to blind input field, what is this the stone age?
SW never did this right, Pro/e got it right, please make it work. If you have it, you'll use it a lot. Trust me this design pattern comes up often.

I'm realizing this is a 'nice to have pattern' and there's many more 'must have features' that are needed. I'm hoping while they are in there working on the extrude feature, this could be added. When reverse engineering, this comes in handy. It's not anything SW users are use to because it never was in SW. Hoping it makes OS.
