Undo and recovery
How to take back a change — before or after you approve it — and clean up leftover preview layers.
Cizgen is designed so you can always step back. How you undo depends on whether the change has been approved yet.
Before you approve
A staged change hasn't touched your drawing, so taking it back is easy:
- Reject the preview on the approval bar, or
- Ask Cizgen to undo its last step (or a specific earlier step) and it will roll it back and keep going.
After you approve
Once you approve, the change is a normal part of the drawing. Use AutoCAD's own UNDO (or
Ctrl+Z) to reverse it, exactly as you would any other edit.
Cizgen's own undo only affects changes that haven't been approved yet. For anything already
applied, reach for AutoCAD's UNDO.
Recovering leftover preview layers
Previews live on temporary layers while you review them. If a run is interrupted — you close the panel mid-preview, or AutoCAD is closed unexpectedly — a preview layer can be left behind.
When Cizgen notices leftover preview layers, it offers to clean them up for you. Accept, and it removes the temporary geometry so your drawing is tidy again. This never touches your real geometry — only the assistant's own temporary preview layers.
