Undo Command

[ntwiggar]

Why does the Undo command let me undo steps from a previous file? If I'm working in an assembly, then switch to a part file (leaving the assy open), my next undo command refers to the last command in the file in the previous window (or last open file), not the last command in the curently open window. Is there a setting or switch that I'm unaware of?

It's one of those feature you'll come to love in Inv 😞

Unfortunately Inv doesn't create separate UNDO files, nor does it create large enough UNDO files

I'm afraid I can't suggest any workaround or switch or setting or anything that might help, other than putting a Wish into

Did you try to apply that setting? 1000MB is the max it will take.

Oops, didn't try apply.

To have 1Gb per open file would be more useful or 10Gb overall.

Edit the registry, maybe? At your own risk!
With iTweak, you can edit the # of Undo levels.

Thanks for the reply. Been using IV for a number of years now, but never noticed that limitation before. I think I was in the middle of editing a sketch on a part, switched to the assembly, moved some contraints around and measured some distance. Then went back to the open sketch and realized I didn't need to do what I had just done on the sketch and tried to undo...but it wanted to undo the contraints I just placed on the assy, not the trimming of the line I edited before that. Will have to keep that in mind...
