Undo option (ctrl+z) upgrading

[Siddharth]

Hello,

I have been using revit architecture since 2016. And just recently transitioned to vectorworks. Well i have found out one really tedious process of undo.

Why undo command consider zoom in and zoom out as an operation?

Please remove the zoom in or out as an operation. 

 

Example: if i draw wall and then i did zoom out and i thought i draw wall in wrong position then i do undo(ctrl+z) but while doing first undo it actually (undo the zoom out) process and again i have to do undo to actually remove the wall.

I hope you understand. 

Thanks

Have you explored this aspect of the Vectorworks Preferences dialog?

As to your question why. I always explain it like this. If I delete an object. And then change view. Then after that I want to undo the delete. Wouldn’t you want a visual confirmation that the deleted object is there again?
 

I find the undo view change very reassuring for that reason.

For me it is absolutely distracting.

Normally I zoom out before deleting any object(s) to keep overview.

VW's Undo sabotages that.

 

For those who love it, yes, make it as an option.

But if there is already an option that says "Never" - it should be "Never"

 

 

I have many Apps that don't do that and I prefer that.

I repeatedly mocked about that and showed Pros and Cons already since VW 2014.

Like for many other inconsistent long time existing behaviours in VW.

But VW never improves existing questionable things in favour of adding new

features, no one asked for, to make the code even less manageable.

the "never" option is a little bit misleading. In Fact, the first option does undo all steps and the last one.

A real option for "Never" would be great.
