Strange UNDOing I dont want??

[Martin P]

Hello Autocaders :)

Venturing over from the Revit Forums... We have Revit series (Revit & autocad 2006 bundle) Great combination of software. I am an old hand with Autocad very comfortable with it so I am 99% certain this is some type of bug and not me being a bit daft....

Occasionally when I go to hit escape something very odd happens when I miss the button (I think, I am using a wacom table, so I may actually be zooming by mistake at the same time or something??) - Its as if I have done a zoom and escaped half way through - cancelling the regen, and not seeing everything recently drawn - not uncommon when using Autocad. Only BIG problem is none of it comes back!! Its as if thestuff is deleted... this has happened to me quite a few times now and is upsetting me as I have to redo (from where I think it went wrong) all the stuff that dissapears.....


Anyone seen this behaviour at all? do I need to download the latest build - or is it peculiar to me?

Thanks for any advice!!

Maritn.

Hi

What happens if you use the _.Oops command immediately after this peculiar issue / problem occurs ?

Have a good one, Mike

Nothing - its all "gone" it literally just dissapears....its just as if I havent done any work at all since last saving the file.

Maybe its a hardware/memory problem? - I had something similar (exaclty the same!) with Revit quite some time ago.... though its not happened with Revit in a long time.

I have dowloaded the latest update and installed it, maybe that will stop it from happening again.....

Other people have reported AutoCAD doing similar things, and I commented on it in Bug Watch January (http://gis.cadalyst.com/gis/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=282048) under Underhanded Undo Revisited. I don't have any answers, but just wanted to let you know you're not alone.
