i am using IntelliCAD Standard Edition version 6.1 and i am having problem with the UNDO command.. it does not undo the very last command but the first command i did.. eveything got mixed up and it's really a headache..

asia,

There were some early problems with Undo in IntelliCAD and i'm not sure when these were resolved.

I note you are using an earlier version 6.1 and this may still have the Undo problem where Undo acted erraticly.

Try different settings of the Undoctl variable.

Concerning the UNDO command ... it seems like it takes to many mouse clicks to undo even a simple line draw, little on something more complicated.
Doesn't seem to efficient. I hope the coders look at this in later versions.

BJ,

I think the problem is the Undo treats transperent commands such as zoom as a step and this is the reason for the many steps.

UNDO should not undo zooms or pans on the drawings.

For example, many times, you are zoomed in on a portion of the drawing, you make a change, zoom out, discover your mistake, and hit undo. It usually takes about 3 or 4 undos in this situation to remove the mistake because it keeps undoing the zooms. Zooms and pans really do not permanently affect the drawing and should not be included in UNDO.

It would be nice in the next Intellicad version to be able to choose some commands (especially panning and zooming) that should not be included in UNDO.

PCSPHK,

IntelliCAD are working on a complete re-write to eliminate these types of problems.

It should be out later this year and the code will be more manageable.
