I have searched the Help menu for "history tree" and similar wording, but can not find the object history window. Is there a window that shows the build history of an object or model in ViaCADPro? If I make an object in ViaCADPro and then need to modify the size of the original shape, can I "roll back", modify the shape, then roll the features forward to rebuild the object to the new dimensions? (I have a little experience with Solidworks, and this is possible with the history tree.) Example: I make a rectangle 2" x 4.25" inches. I radius the corners, extrude the shape up 0.25", add a boss, and a couple counter sunk holes, and fillet the edges. Now I 3D print the part and find the overall dimension of the base rectangle is 0.25 to wide, but everything else is good. Can I "roll back" and change the original shape to 2" x 4" and then roll forward and have the rest of the part "rebuilt", or do I need to start a new file and re-create the object from scratch? -with this simple example it would only take a couple minutes to re-create the object, but if it was a more complex object it would become a hassle to create an entirely new model for a minimal change. Thank you!

"Entities" is timber. We can roll back many things, when the the design is done in a clean way... JL
