BackUp for String Dimensions

I don't know a way to gracefully back up when I am running a string of dimensions. When I make mistakes dimensioning, the DataCAD Undo does not cut the mustard and there is no backup on the string dimension menu.

DataCAD please consider backup on the string dimension menu.

I second this request. It can be a pain at present.

When you are running a string of dimensions and snap to the wrong point or change your mind, just snap back to the last correct snap point. Then click the comma key the number of times to get rid of the unwanted dimensions and then continue dimensioning. That means that if you have one wrong dimension you would snap back to the previous correct point which will create another unwanted dimension. Then click on the comma key once to delete this unwanted dimension and once more to delete the original incorrect dimension. And continue with the string of dimensions.
