Can't extrude existing solid to another surface V18

I must be getting old & senile, can't remember how to do a simple extrude of an existing solid to another surface. I recall doing this in V16 but it's been awhile. Hovering over the red cylinder doesn't seem to bring up what I need on the quad in solid modeling work space. See the attached pic, hope someone can shed some light on this.

I fear my workspaces might be screwed up but tried doing it in a "clean" profile but it still doesn't work.

    Hello Tim,
    Just call DMEXTRUDE for red cylinder base, choose "set limit" option (keyword L) and choose side face of the gray cylinder.

    Thanks Ilya, but that command only seems to recognize 2D entities. What I'm trying to extrude is already a solid, dmextrude won't let me pick the red cylinder. Push/pull works but I thought this could be done with another command.

    Sounds like you don't have the correct selectionmode enabled, do you use the selectionmode toolbar or change the variable 'selectionmodes =2'

    I think it would help if the forum had a signature function,
    so that anyone can add his information like :

    • Hardware
    • Operation System macOS, Windows; Linux (Distribution) and Release Number
    • Bricscad Version, Standard, Pro, Platinum, BIM, ... and Release Number
