    Hi, i'm writing, coz i'm pissed off with this undo function:
    I've done just a simple circuit and wanted to add this into my photon emitter, but i've made a mistake (putting mouse few pixels more behind the zoombox) so i thought that ctrl-z would erase this... Click- and i've lost the mistake and my circuit too!!!!
    Can any1 tell me how does it work?

    It is the undo tool.
    Just copy your creation so it doesn't matter if you loose it.
    Please don't post rude words on your title.

    Sorry for my bad language but it's really annoying when you have to think every time- will it erase just one thing or the entire work???

    I think it's timed - if paused it will delete all.

    i saves the state every normal brush click, so creating/erasing by moving the mouse only.
    lines, boxes, floodfill do NOT cause a save.

    Simple, use CTRL Z when you need to undo an error, the undo corrects to the last brush stroke.

    Where If I have Event A and Event C

    I didn't want Event C to happen, so I press CTRL Z to undo it.

    But If I draw something or do something between Event A and Event C (lets call this Event B) then the game will reset to Event B and not A because that is the way it is programed, otherwise it would be on a Timer, where you would only be able to reset to the farthest event in that time frame.

    You just get used to not making mistakes eventually

    ALWAYS save. There's a great history of saves feature (press the calendar) that can revert to anything if you mess up. Also stamps are good for archiving.

    most of the stuff i do is rarely flood or boxfill its all single pixel dabs, but what is annoying is using control for something then knocking z to rezoom to a area and have it undo my last placement, minor annoyance, but annoyance nonetheless
