   Step-by-step instructions :

1 . Invoke Undo using one (1) of the following methods:

Method 1 : Click the Undo View Change icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be taken from the group named ' View ' (Modeling) or ' View ' ( Drawing Editor ) and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).

Method 2 : If you are in the Drawing Editor or the " Modeling layout style " for Modeling is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose View > Undo View Change .

Method 3, 4 or 5 : Undo View Change can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface . The default keyboard shortcut for Undo View Change is u .

Method 6 : With Navigate Mode or Nav Once mouse bindings active, hold down the Shift key and right-click ( Undo ).

2 . The program undoes the most recent view transformational change made to your current drawing or view.

Note 1: If you want the program to forget the last view transformations you have made, do a Clear View Buffer . If you then Undo View Change , the display does not revert back to the previous view. You might want to do this, for instance, each time you open a new erection view. That way the program only remembers the view transformations you have made within that erection view.

Note 2: The buffer of up-to-twenty view changes is lost when you exit Modeling . It is lost in the Drawing Editor when you Open a new drawing.
