how to extrude 100mm of filament for extrusion width test

I want to run a calibration test after changing the nozzle to .6mm I think a good start would be to run the 100mm test but I dont know how to extrude that amount (Mk3). Thanks

i3 Mk3 [aug 2018] upgrade>>> i3MK3/S+[Dec 2023]

From the menus: Move Axis, E ...   or via software like Pronterface.

From the menu, remember that spinning the dial backwards will retract filament: so if you overshoot, do NOT correct or you will unload the filament : the firmware responds quick, but has a lag : so an overshoot will extrude the value you see on the display: if you hit 120 and correct to 100, the printer will extrude 120, then retract 20.
