is it possible to undo a single click of the Sketch Line command?

markm63816 — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 23:56:18 GMT

Is it possible to undo only the last click when drawing chained line segments with Sketch Line, as opposed to starting over? For example, if I'm drawing an octagon and point #6 snaps to a vertex of other geometry... how can I undo only point #6 and stay in the line command to continue my shape? It's simple in Auto-CAD as part of the Polyline command, so I'm surprised it's not obvious in F360. Any suggestions?

Each line segment is a separate transaction, and a separate line. So, undo does undo the segments in the reverse order they were created:

Thanks for your video! I was looking to stay within the Line command and just undoing the last point (like with a right click or the letter U), then continuing with another left-click at a new location. It seems to me that it should be more direct. The closest I have found is to hit Ctrl-Z twice, then restart the line command with L, clicking on the Line icon, or right clicking and choosing Repeat Line, then clicking the point where I left off to resume. Kind of clunky.

Use the Polygon sketch tool, just like AutoCAD.

The octagon was just an example of a multi-vertexed object... let's say I'm drawing an open object with many line segments and curves, like zig-zags for a lightning bolt, or for the teeth of a saw blade. I only want to undo the most recent click.

Sketch only one tooth, create feature, then pattern feature.

OK, I know what you are saying, but not everything has an easy solution.

no, there is no way to back up just one segment and stay in the line command. "Kind of clunky". Yeah, maybe, but really, I personally don't find it all that onerous. A matter of opinion, I guess. It just doesn't come up all that often for me.

Granted. I feel like F360 is more about drawing (loosely) first, constraining later. Auto-CAD is more about hitting exact coordinates as you go.

Thank you for all of your input. Let's put a fork in this one!
