lecroy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 You have got to be kidding me. Undo in 2009 only goes one back? I guess this new feature was to make me less sloppy and make less mistakes? What the heck is going on inside NI now days? Quote Link to comment

There's a LabVIEW.ini setting that you can set to 99. maxUndoSteps=99 Quote Link to comment
lecroy Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 There's a LabVIEW.ini setting that you can set to 99. maxUndoSteps=99 This was not in the ini file, so I added it. Then restarted Labview. Same thing, only one undo. Does yours work? Quote Link to comment

It works fine for me. (It must be some sort of conspiracy against you ) Sorry, I couldn't resist... Sadly, I have no clue at where you should look to correct this otherwise. Perhaps directly in the Tools/Options... menu?(Environment Tab) Quote Link to comment

lecroy Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yes, 32-bit WinXP. Another person here is going to install it on another PC. We will see if they have the same problem. Could be NI has something against our company and not just me. Quote Link to comment
smenjoulet Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Works for me too. LV2009, 32-bit, WinXP. What have you tried to resolve it? Have you tried renaming your ini and letting LabVIEW recreate it and then copying over your desired settings? Quote Link to comment
EricLarsen Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 In 2009 this can also be set from Tools >> Options >> Environment >> Maximum undo steps per VI. Probably a bit safer doing it from here then editing the .ini file. Quote Link to comment

Probably a bit safer doing it from here then editing the .ini file. That was already covered above. Renamed INI, restarted LV. It created a new INI with defaults. Undo is still only one deep. My guess is it's inside the Labview code. 2009.1 will be out soon. Quote Link to comment
Francois Normandin Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Are you on Vista? Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Is this on a specific action you're trying to perform or in any action? There are certain operations in LabVIEW which clear the undo buffer. Quote Link to comment
lecroy Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Because there are so many versions of each OS, like Vista and XP ... I am running XP Pro 64-bit, Version 5.2 SP2. Erase two wires, can only get one back. Erase two locals, can only get one back. Move two items, can return both to their original positions. Erase one wire, move one item, can return item to original position but can not get wire back. Did not do a lot of testing on this but it appears related to the erase. Remember when there was no undo?? At least this new version doesn't take me back that far. Quote Link to comment
bmoyer Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'm not saying this is the cause, but if you say 64-bit XP to NI they say: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C4EC0C87B6D70AA886256E61006568C8 Also see: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5709 Bruce Quote Link to comment
PJM_labview Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Are you using some tools that have some scripting in it? I know (because the RCF use to have this pb) that using some scripting action will flush your undo buffer and you end up with only one undo (regardless of what you set the ini settings). Just a though. PJM Quote Link to comment
Aristos Queue Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Only one undo? No. In fact, LV 2009 increased the default undo size from 8 to 30. Works well on my machine, both my PC at work and my Mac laptop. Quote Link to comment

They are only developed on it. I have no scripting programs running. As a matter of fact, I shut down everything when using Labview. Previous versions of Labview Undo work fine on this same PC. This is a new feature for 2009. Something they decided they had a better way to impliment and did not do a good job of testing. Quote Link to comment
Norm Kirchner Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I as well am using 2009 and with Win 7 and all is well with my usual user defined value of 38. I'm thinking something is hosed on your system LeCroy. I hate to mention it.... have you though of uninstall/re-install? Quote Link to comment
