ScottA said: The programmers have told us before. Multiple Undo's is a major problem. If it was easy. They would have already added it. Did they specify the reason? As I said, the only conceptual reason not to extend an already existing single undo to multiples is in its implementation. If it is strewn willy-nilly throughout the code (which is my suspicion) that would make it a task. Otherwise, the extension to multiples is not a major problem. If it is strewn throughout, they could carefully start replacing it with a central call that does the same thing and eventually end up with a system that would allow multiple undo implementation. But at version 6.0, it doesn't look as if they've even touched a quarter of the original codebase... pakled: I don't think anyone is inferring that one cannot do 'professional work' with Poser. It is just that it lacks, and I think this is agreed upon, many workflow features that would make it work more like a professional application. My analogy: Could you write a commercial book with NotePad? Did you get paid for it? If the answers to 1 and 2 are 'yes', then congratulations! you have a Professional package! Notepad... professional...think about that and carefully consider the point made. (And, yes, you could write a book using Notepad!)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
