Question

UNDO Isn't alway available

CREO 2.0 M020.


I don't know all of the conditions, but it seems like there are less opportunities to UNDO in CREO 2.0 as there was in WF 5.0. I just ran into an example today - I had a chamfer that I edited the attachment from one of the chamfers in the selection to the other (2 chamfers in one feature), and then re-positioned the text. It was not possible to 'UNDO' this to move the text back, and attach the chamfer to the other selection. I could have sworn I could do this in 5.0.


It seems like there are other situations where this has happened as well. Anyone else have this happen to them or notice it? Is there a setting that will allow more undo's??

    One thing I have not heard back from anyone yet is if undo seemed to work better on WF5 vs CREO. Was I just imagining this or was it a reality?

    I can comment on UNDO and REDO somewhat in SW 2012/2013. According to
    my info, UNDO and REDO can be done for most operations but is not
    perfect.



    I don't use it much, but I understand you cannot redo assembly mates
    after undoing, and there are other, possibly quirky reasons you can't
    undo and redo to your heart's content. I understand that you can undo
    and redo most in sketcher, and possibly least in assembly mode.

    In Reply to Damian Castillo:



    Good points David.


    I really don't know what the challenge is but I was just thinking the process is more involved or complicated with Pro/E or Creo than it would be with something like Word.


    Can SolidWorks undo without issues or is it similar experience as Creo?


    "Too many people walk around like Clark Kent, because they don't realize they can Fly like Superman"




    Here's one example I posted on MCAD Central a year ago. I have not checked if it's improved in the later versions of SW.


    "Mindripper, there are many areas in SW where the Undo doesn't work and I believe I read on Mike Puckets blog that SW users weren't happy at all about the Undo command.


    Here's one comparison between SW vs Creo. It's the same funcionality in WF5. I don't know how many versions this goes back in WF.

    SW2010 where the Undo is greyed out and you can't undo or redo geometry selections.

    Creo 1.0 where you can Undo or Redo geometry selections within a command."

    PTC's RSD has undo for all the things I tried last week. Siemens NX has
    undo for all the stuff I tried too. On NX I was working with assembly/part
    and drawing so I know I covered the basic stuff. Probably if I dig deeper I
    will find undo issues. RSD is just a 2D software so yeah, as expected undo
    works well. So I wonder if there are distinct rules of what makes
    something undo-able. I can image setting some sort of state where you save
    the state each minute and then you can revert to that. Auto save has not
    been that great. It only has on or off, no selective option. Maybe there
    could be -I'm patenting this- a save state button. The
    user preemptively knows that the following action could result in an
    un-doable state, so he clicks the save current state or scs button. This
    will keep that state and if creo gets a failure, it will simply revert back
    and then explain why. Forget it, PTC you can have it, go ahead, no
    royalties.

    Sounds very similar to the "save" button?
