CTRL Z not undoing certain things.

[Daniel Monty]

Hi All,

 

I have noticed in the last few days that if I use CTRL-Z to try reverse or undo things the prompt tells me the action has been undone but it doesn't actually undo the action.

 

For example if I duplicate and then move the duplication and hit CTRL-Z it will undo the duplication but not move the duplicated item / group back to the original location.

 

If I delete an object by mistake and CTRL-Z it doesn't revert back and restore the object.

 

Similarily happening with changing of opacity & fills etc.

 

Has anyone experienced anything similar or know how to fix this?

 

Cheers! 

Daniel.

It does not sound correct.

 

1. Have you restarted VW?

2. If you start a new blank file can you get this to occur?  If yes, then you may have corrupted preferences. If no, then you may have a corrupted file.

3. The easiest way to check for corrupted preferences is to quit VW, move your existing user folder somewhere else (don't delete it yet), and restart VW.  A new user folder will be created.  Check and see if that solved the problem. If it did you should keep the new user folder and copy anything you need from the old user folder and then delete it. I mean things like custom workspaces, and the default content library if you have customized it.  Don't move back anything you don't actually need.

Hi Pat,

 

Thanks for the help. I will try those suggestions. I restarted VW & My computer and that seemed to help a bit. I was thinking maybe the memory was getting clogged up as it was a relatively chunky file.

 

If it starts doing it again I'll definitely try moving the user folder. Thanks again!

I have been experiencing similar issues with Undo/CTRL-Z

This seems to happen to me often when working in a group edit mode... frustrating.

 

I "fix it" by opening my last backup and copying the older object back into the current drawing.

I've been having this issue for a few months now off and on. I just came to the Forums today to see if there is a fix for it.

I was having some odd undo issues today, random things like editing a hardscape border and one of the border point moves won't undo - but it skipped to the next one and continued on.

 

And just now Ctrl Z just "undid" all my stake objects... meaning it just deleted all of them from the drawing!

 

I tried to change their font size, didn't like it so I hit ctrl-Z, and they are gone.

Gone completely and Ctrl-y didn't bring them back.

 

Restored them by opening a backup file and cut and pasted back into the drawing...
