How can I ignore certain commands when using UNDO

When using a drawing with a pointcloud I would like to know how to turn off OLEAPPLICATION when trying to UNDO. A lot of the undo process is taken up with this command which is not important to what I am trying to correct and would like to know if there is a command that I can use to choose certain commands to be ignored when applying the UNDO function.

No, there is not. Once a command is run, let's call it Command1, it is placed into the Undo list in the order it was run. If you want to undo a command before Command1, the undo goes all the way back to that previous command and Command1 becomes a victim of that undo.

Hi,

It's good to know that there are many  prompts for UNDO command . >> Click <<  also UNDOCTL (System Variable) could help .

It's been a while since I've used pointclouds using Leica Cloudworx plugin but I'm positive that this was never an issue before. The OLEAPPLICATION commands that I'm trying to avoid being included within the UNDO commands are to do with the interaction with this plugin. I would never need to UNDO any of the cloudworx commands, it will always be because I need to undo linework or other editing I will have done to the actual drawing.

 

It might not be an issue with the UNDO command rather within the plugin itself.

it's high time Autodesk developers to do  something  you should be able to undo only a specific command

I've been on AutoCAD since release 9. 

Way back, you could set a marker, then try something out.

If you didn't like what you had done, you could undo back to that marker.

Can you still do that now ?

@CliffTurnerFuse It's still there, UNDO command's full abilities remain intact and explained in HELP but often ignored
@wstevensRW3TG Use UNDO command fully as explained above, and fully automate to be ever constant with customizing (reason you use AutoCAD and not Etch-A-Sketch).
If you still want to "tell Autodesk" you can do so yourself right here as everyone else can https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback
