how to NOT undo pan and zoom

how to NOT undo pan and zoom

how to NOT undo pan and zoom

(OP)
When doing commands, I frequently zoom and pan to make sure the correction looks right and then when trying to undo, I have to undo all the panning and zooming before I can undo the last actual command.  Is there a way do disable undo-ing pan and zoom?

Thanks

I hope not.

?? what is useful about undoing a simple pan or zoom.  It doesn't affect the final product...

RE: how to NOT undo pan and zoom

maybe named views are the solution?

i think that would become cumbersome since I work in only a small area at a time.  I have been on someone elses machine that did it, so I am sure it has to be a setting.  It seemed to be the default on his, so he had no idea why it was like that.

RE: how to NOT undo pan and zoom

Why not use Undo > Mark?  Then after doing whatever, use Undo > Back to get you where you were?

thats prob what im looking for, but where is that? All I see it undo or ctrl+z

RE: how to NOT undo pan and zoom

Type "undo", then read the command line: "m" for mark, "b" for back.

RE: how to NOT undo pan and zoom

Another software does not UNDO the ZOOM commands.  I have seen users undo things that were no longer visible on the screen trying to get back to what they thought was the last thing they did, only to find several wasted minutes re-building stuff that didn't need to be undone.

I want UNDO to do just that, whatever was done, undo it.  If I've panned, pan back, if I've changed a system variable, change it back.  Proper use of the UNDO command (not just U) by placing UNDO MARKs, and using UNDO BEGIN and UNDO END in lisp functions goes a long way in efficiency.
