JoarL Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 One of the more annoying features of VW is that view changes such as zoom, pan, rendering etc. are included in the undo list. It would be great with a set of options for what commands should be undoable. JoarL Quote Link to comment

I can see people hitting undo many times in an effort to get it to work, and all the while they might be undoing half their drawing without realizing it! What you would do is separate the view Undos from the creation undos. Other programs do this. In essense, the existing Previous View command does this. Just make the Undo command have no affect on views/magnifications. In fact, why not make Option Undo, undo the views, and Undo undo the creation. ------------------ Janis Kent, AIA author WorksTutorial & WorksManual Quote Link to comment

0 Machine Designer Posted August 18, 2000 Share Posted August 18, 2000 I can see Caleb's point but I agree that we should at least have an option to not change views during UNDO. Quote Link to comment
0 JoarL Posted August 18, 2000 Author Share Posted August 18, 2000 To see what you are undoing the easiest would be to just zoom out with fit to page or fit to all objects. Quote Link to comment

As with most programs of this level (i.e. everything by Adobe and every CAD program i ever used) undo's take place regardless of the a view change. As a full time VW professional user I find it quite annoying that I am forced to back track all of my view changes just so that I am protected from an unseen undo. I'm a pro, if I type undo I mean it even if the action is off screen. Undo and view change need to be separate in VW just as they are in all other programs of this level. Quote Link to comment

It would be great with a set of options for what commands should be undoable.
