Is there an "Undo" (=Ctrl+Z) option in PV SOL?

[Ricardo 2]

Hi,

I was wondering, is there an option to undo changes in PV SOL, other than not saving and simply opening the last saved version of your file? Something in the line of Ctrl+Z in MS Office.

Thanks!

Hi Ricardo,

Unfortunately there is no undo function at this moment. We are aware of that missing feature. Sadly, an undo is very difficult to implement in existing code which is not prepared for this kind of action.

Kind regards,

Marcel

Hello Remu,

We know that this is a very demanded feature. Unfortunately, it will not be implemented in the near future.

Kind regards,

Hi Marcel

Please tell us when the function undo will be implemented in the New Version PV SOL Premium 2020.

We are not willing to pay for maintenance and updates every year if essential functions such as undo are still missing.

Dear Supportcenter EWS,

as Marcel pointed out, we are aware of the fact that this feature is highly demanded by our customers. And be sure that we are not holding it back artificially. The undo function is quasi-impossible to implement in the existing code of the 3D environment. It would make it necessary to restructure the whole code from scratch. And since we are working on a completely new version of the 3D environment, it wouldn't make sense to rebuild the old version from scratch. We hope this is comprehensible.

As a workaround against the worst cases of work loss we introduced the autosave feature some versions ago. With this you can jump back to earlier versions of your project if something unexcepted or undesired happened to your project. I know this isn't a full replacement for the undo function, but at least it avoids the loss of data or long hours of work.

I am sorry to hear that. While we are always trying to produce the best simulation and planning software that is possible with our resources, we can't avoid that single customers aren't satisfied. If you want to stop using PV*SOL you can just refrain from extending your maintanance contract the next time.

Kind regards,

Martin
