Undo

[Matt Sheppard]

I may be missing something here, but does accurender have an Undo?

 

Couple examples where it would be helpful for me...

 

Material editing.. If I edit a material without creating a second copy of it first and am unhappy with my rendering result, it would be nice to be able to undo changes to the material.

 

A few times I have been editing lights and not noticed the light object still selected in AutoCAD.. If my next command happens to be erase I lose the light. Undo in ACAD brings the object back, but not the light in accurender.

 

Any help appreciated!

No undo on the materials.

Erasing a light and undoing the erasure does work (sort of)-- but the light list isn't updating correctly.  I'll look into either having it update automatically -or- at least having a manual refresh on the right click menu so you can see your light again.

No worries on the materials..

 

The light updating thing is interesting.. I should also mention that I noticed the same issue when using the autocad block editor.. nxt correctly shows the lights that are contained within the block, but once you exit the block editor it does not return to show the lights in the main file. Would closing the nxt tool and simply bringing it back up by typing "nxt" refresh the lights?

 

Thanks again!

I had to use some crazy workarounds to force a regen of the light list.  The easiest one (I think) is to open a blank drawing (new) and then switch back to your drawing.  Switching between multiple documents always triggers a reset in the UI.
