| Undo in Multiuser Environment [message #1735830] |

Hi,
I would like to raise the question on how to deal with undo if papyrus is used in a multi user environment as it is provided with the CDO integration.
I cannot think of any other solution than to clear the undo\redo history if delta notifications from other CDOTransactions come in.
Are there any ideas?
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi
I think it is part of the problem of maintaining the history as a
sequence of semantic primitives. Then you undo by do-ing an inverse
semantic change, not by restoring an earlier context. Successfully
do-ing the inverse semantic change must be heavily predicated by a
consistent starting state; you cannot undo a move to something that has
been refactored in the meantime.
