Undo causing a step back of dozens of steps...


SamIWas

Question

I have never had this issue before, but it popped up yesterday.  I do need to update to the newest service pack (which is happening currently...sloooowwly).  I've been working on 2020 SP3.1.

 

I've been working on a large drawing, and every now and then, I have to hit undo (obviously).  There have been several times recently where I hit undo, and it steps back some 10-15 minutes worth of work, completely erasing everything that was done in that span.  And redo does not appear to bring it back.   Has anyone else seen this behavior?

 

And just now I found that VW had not done the most recent backup or two (autosave every five minutes), so I lost all that work. 😡

AFAIK

there was a Undo corruption in early VW 2019,

where a single Undo went back much too far like in your case.

Can't remember if Redo worked.

But I thought that was solved with later VW 2019 SPs (?)

 

Also from time to time I read that auto backup failed or was

somehow magically deactivated and such things.

Where it is not 100% clear if it was a bug or user error.

Exactly same problem. An entire day lost. Automatic backup is set to 10 minutes and nothing. No backup was made. The last one I have is yesterday at 3:33 PM when I stop working on this project. Thank you VectorWorks 😡 😡😡 (VectorWorks 2020 SP4)
