I don't know if this is on the wishlist. I was hoping it would be in REL 3, but wasn't. I would like to have UNDO work like in Autocad. Undo to the beginning of the session. If this is not possible, maybe 5 to 10 undo's. If this is not possible, at least 1 undo in each module. Please? Thanks, Dennis

Dennis, << undo..>> 3ds has the hold button. jonas[adesk]

Jonas; >> 3ds has the hold button. That is NOT an UNDO unless you remember to click on it. It's really a quick save button. For large files, this would really slow you down if you clicked on the QUICK SAVE button every time you were about to do anything. I am requesting a REAL UNDO. Am I the only one that would like a real undo? If so, I'll be surprised. Thanks, Dennis

Dennis, >>Am I the only one that would like a real undo? << No you are not the only one! You are absolutely correct about Hold. I have lost lots of work with 3ds. I save often, and press hold often, but people make mistakes and it is silly to think your gonna press hold so often that youll never get caught. There are only a few apps I know of that have an Undo feature as nice as AutoCAD (mostly text editors), but it is such a great one that I really wish 3ds would have it as well. Mark

Mark; Good to hear from you. Unless there are others that respond, it looks like it is just you and me. I asked Gary Yost at Siggraph last year if release 3 would have an undo. He said no, but that he was wanting undo also. If Gary wants undo, and doesn't get it, it must have a very low priority. Dennis

I'm pretty sure that a general undo was on several wishlists, but as to priority, who knows? It would be nice. David

Adding "Undo" to a program that didn't have it to start with is often problematic. It's really something that has to be designed from the start.

John, <<It's really something that has to be designed from the start.>> It may be problematic, but AutoCAD did not implement its generalized UNDO/REDO facility until version 2.5 (the 7th release). So maybe there is hope afterall. Mark

If implemented, an "undo" on a 3D program can entail *gobs* of memory.

Dennis, I'm delighted to hear that Gary would like it also. Now I'm optimistic it might show up! Mark
