Hi @dale

See this thread. I can’t believe you don’t know Isolate doesn’t work well and hasn’t since V5. From another thread which I can’t find one of the developers replied that it can’t and will never be fixed so as to circumvent it getting lost in the undo stack.

Here’s how to reproduce since you can’t remember.

Reviving this old thread to say this is still occurring. It’s easily reproduced in a new file:

  1. Create a few objects.
  2. Isolate one of them.
  3. Unisolate
  4. hit undo to undo step 3
  5. Try to unisolate again
  6. “No items hidden”

The pain here is that now you’ve accidentally added a bunch of items to your hidden items. You can’t separate the hidden items from the items that were only hidden because you isolated them in step 2. So, you have to go into your hidden items and unhide everything except the items that you really wanted hidden.

Command History:
Command: Isolate
2 extrusions added to selection.
Command: Unisolate
Showing 2 hidden objects.
Command: _Undo
Undoing Unisolate
Command: Unisolate
No objects are hidden.

Isolate needs work for the undo command
