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??

I am not sure if this email string makes me want to laugh, or cry.
"PTC was Late to the Undo function?"They are still late as the still don't have it!I cannot figure out why PTC still does not see undo as a worthwhile function to add...
Maybe PTC will make it a module, Pro-Undo...Or rather, Creo-Undo

Yeah, PTC were pretty late to the party with an Undo function.
Plus it always seems to be that the more critical the operation, the
less likely Undo is to be available. You can always undo moving a
drawing view...

I don't pretend to know the reason behind the limited ability to undo in Pro/E or Creo. Sometimes I have to step back and think about the code or complexity of the process.
Gimp, Photoshop, Word and many other type of software are much simpler to undo your past actions because they are not related, linked or parametrically attached to other objects like in a Parametric modeler.
Yes it's probably true that PTC has difficulty with this due to the original code but the undo process would be much more involved in a 3D parametric modeler than it would be for word or gimp.
What we need to compare it too is similar software such as SolidWorks or Inventor. Does anyone know if SolidWorks allows you to undo 100% of every feature or object type? If the answer is yes, then it's obvious that the complex code behind the Granite kernel is the problem. SolidWorks and Inventor were designed for Windows while Pro/E started with Unix code and was later changed to adopt Windows. This could be part of the problem. Then again, maybe I am totally wrong on this.

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?

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."
