Undoctl

[jeroendewind]

My undoctl is set to 61, but I want to change it to 53. Its (read only) so I can't change it there.

I saw in the help that the problem is this: 8 - A group is currently active.

How can I change this setting?

Thanks

Hi,

UNDOCTL is readonly by design (>>>details<<<).

You can only control it by using command _UNDO and set it's options in the commandline:

These settings are correct/fine.

Edit:

I have 61 as value, and want to set it to 53, the same as my colleague. We got the same settings in the undo command, so thats not the problem.

When going to options, user preferences and deselecting something from the Undo/Redo things, changes it with 16 or 32 points, so that's also not the problem. I need to change the value of 8 points, and the help says it has sometging to do with active groups.

But what and where?

Hi,

you are in an UNDO-group, So start command _UNDO use option _END and then UNDOCTL is set back to 53.

That solves it, thank you very much!

Is this permanent, or can it be changed back automaticly to 61? If so, what causes it that I'm in a group?

Hi,

>> Is this permanent

No, you (and tools/plugins) can change that.

As you can see in the help about UNDOCTL (to which I linked in the above post) the variable itself is not stored.

>> r can it be changed back automaticly to 61

Whenever you (or a tool/plugin) start command _UNDO and use option _BEGIN the value will again change from 53 to 61.

>> If so, what causes it that I'm in a group?

As shown above, a tool or a plugin or settigns in ACAD.LSP or ACADDOC.LSP or other automativally loaded/started apps can do that.
