Why is there even an undo button? It doesn't work!!!!

I would like to state for the record Mr. Frodermann, that I do not have 6 fingers. 

Tom's comment does seem to track with how the button currently works. Unfortunately, I do not have any line of communication with that team to find out what they are looking at as answers since it says "in evaluation" but I will try to ask around and see if I can get any further information to bring back here.

, please hear us, your customers on this one.  We love the application specialists and developers at Zeiss.  You people are world-class, and your expertise and support is the x-factor that helps us succeed in the measurement lab.  Acknowledged that even seemingly minor functionality upgrades in a software can in reality be a huge undertaking. I understand that Calypso does not operate on a simple linear command history. Many actions affect multiple interconnected objects and states.

A friend of mine and software developer (who works for a competitor to Zeiss) educated me on the architectural complexity to adding a universal undo function.  It's more achievable when planned for during an initial build.  That being said, she also claimed that while challenging, it is indeed possible.

Users plead for the undo function is because undo is deeply wired into how humans interact with computers. The eye, brain, and hand operate as a tight feedback loop. This is why it's now a fundamental expectation across nearly every computing environment we use, professional or otherwise.

Also driving the vote count is the frustration from needing to rollback a menus-deep setup in Calypso that took time and mental energy to create.  The greatest strength of Calypso, the feature-based architecture, can cause heartburn from having to redo instead of undo.

Evidence for that claim is the hypersensitive GUI in the Features and Characteristics lists.  Misjudge the landing strip for a group or feature that you intend to move by even a pixel, and you launch an object over the moon, often with weighty consequences.  An undo function that restores the position of a feature, characteristic or group to its previous position would be a monumental value-add.

Team Zeiss: we are still asking for "Undo" in Calypso.  We recognize it will require effort, and please feel free to educate us on whether or not this is a realistic goal.

We appreciate you.

agree, any software especially where you are editing and creating important things should clearly have a robust undo function.

Make it behave like Zeiss Inspect and we will all be happy. Danke.

A very complex Freeform surface and my finger hit accidently hit delete. A lot of work down the drain.

Well there is always the trashcan for that, and at least Free-form has a working Reset. Curves on the other hand are a different story, the Reset does not work for any type of nominal manipulation.
