UNDO for AutoCad Mechanical, plz explain how to use as single command

[Hunteil]

Hello, user of AutoCAD since 2000... daily user. We just updated to AutoCAD Mechanical. And now when I use the undo button or crtl+z, it undoes everything up to the last time I saved! This is horrible! I've had to redraw many things now and I'm fed up. Please help me... I can't seem to find a setting anywhere to put it to single commands.

I also noticed there's a pull down next to the undo button and it says: "Group of commands" and other says "undo 1 command".

It won't let me select the undo 1 command...it just says cancel over top it... What am I missing? I thought AutoCAD Mechanical was the same thing as the core product. I didn't expect them to change one of the most important tools!

What function were you trying to undo? Not everything is easy to undo in a single step.

If I may ask, why are you not saving more often then? You should never be more that a few minutes from recovery ever.

FWIW a QSAVE sets an UNDO>Mark which can also be triggered manually by you as an abbreviation with lisp before you dive into a complex workflow. Explore UNDO in HELP for more details about all it can do, pulldowns on the Ribbon don;t tell the whole story.
