Is there an UNDO in the "Edit Points"? Or is there a chance it may be added?
It would be very handy!

Thanks in advance...Stephen

That's not undo, that's more like a "revert" command, undoing all changes. I think Stephen is looking for a undo command similar to AutoCAD, undoing one step at a time - this has been on the wishlist for a while, along with:

* A "save" command (without exiting), so that if you are making several edits, you can save without exiting. Can you imagine AutoCAD or MSWord having to exit every time you save?

* A "saveas" command where you could open a CRD, make some changes, then save as another CRD.

Thanks "R.K. McSwain",

Thats exactly what I wanted in an Undo. We already exit without saving if
we make a mistake - but we generally lose many other changes.
There is an UNDO in the RW5 editor - something like that would be good.

Regards...Stephen

In the meantime:
- if you want to do many changes in the .crd file then export the file as
..txt
- use an editor with undo option to edit this .txt file
- create a new .crd file importing the .txt file after editing

True, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose of the Edit Points routine. :)
