Canvas 12 User Guide
Canvas allocates memory to ensure that you can undo the specified minimum number of actions.
Canvas tries to set aside enough memory so you can undo the specified maximum number of actions.
It uses this memory if it’s needed for other operations. Therefore, you should be able to undo the
specified minimum number of actions, but you might not be able to undo the specified maximum
number of actions. The memory allocation ensures that you’ll have the most memory available in
Canvas.
To cancel an action:
Do one of the following:
Choose Edit | Undo. You can choose Edit | Undo multiple times to undo canceled actions
in reverse order.
Press Ctrl+Z.
Choose Window | Palettes | Undos. In the palette, select an action that you want to undo.
Not all actions can be canceled with the Undo command. Actions that cannot be canceled
include scrolling; closing or reverting to an earlier version of a document; selecting and
deselecting objects; deleting settings in palettes; and saving documents.
To restore actions you canceled using Undo:
Do one of the following:
Choose Edit | Redo. You can choose Edit | Redo multiple times to reinstate canceled
actions in reverse order.
Press Ctrl+Shift+Z.
Choose Window | Palettes | Undos. In the palette, select an action that you want to redo.
To repeat a command or other action:
Choose Edit | Again.
When an action can be repeated, the Again command includes the name of the action; e.g., after you
rotate an object, the Again command appears as “Rotate Again.”
Not all actions can be repeated. The Again command isn’t available if the previous action
can’t be repeated.
