Help with exruding from one to another point on a sketch (lemmy.ml)

In other cad programs i use two points of a sketch to extrude a feature. In freecad it does not seem to be possible. What are your recommended workarounds for that?

I would like to extrude the base not just from the face of the sketch, but from point 1 to point 2 on the side view sketch. This workflow proved very robust in other cad tools, but I cant get it work in freecad.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I am actually very optimistic about ondsel and I hope there will be more money and coordinated work put in this software. I suspect freecad to be a lot more usable in 2 years if ondsel continues to grow and improve :)
