How to undo? I see revision history...but, seems to only be for comments?

[cayenne]

Hello all,

I've got a vi...I was trying something...I moved a control out of a event case, and did 1 or two other adjustments. It didn't work when I ran the vi...

I've not closed the vi....I had hit save...but I can't seem to get back to where I was by hitting undo over and over....

Is there a way to get back to where I was? I see an option on the menu Edit->vi revision history, but it only seems to show a place to put comments...it says next revision is 135....

Can someone help me recover back about 4-5 changes ago?

Thanks in advance,

cayenne

What version? Doing a save clears the undo until recently so you would have to restore from whatever source code control you are using.

Labview 2011....

Ugh...that kinda blows...I usually hit save on most applications...but I've not run into it clearing the undo...

Don't most people save often..in case of a power fail or whatever can cause data loss?

😞

No source control, this is just me on one computer....

Source control is perfectly suited for single user development. And, the auto-backup feature seems to handle the occasional crash.

Is source control an add on, or does it come with the developers version of LV? I have 2011...haven't upgraded to the 2012 yet....

Thanks,

Source code control does not come with LabVIEW, but there are many various solutions available, some of them free.
