How to undo fast in Adobe Animate?

[mikhald60164309]

There is this little thing that is annoying me when using the program, and that is the ''Animate is processing strokes'' dialog that pops beforethe stroke smoothes. I draw a line and I have to wait until it is vectorized (is that the word to use here?) so I can undo it. It happened on my older PC which took about two seconds to undo,so it was much more annoying than when I bought my new laptop (Intel Core i7-3630QM (with Intel HD Graphics 4000), AMD Radeon 7670M 2 GB, 8 GB RAM and 320 GB HDD, running on Windows 10 64 bit).After buying a new one, the time for the dialog to disappear became less,but it still takes about a second to do so. When I watch streams of people who use the program, they never get that message. I also draw on Illustrator, which also uses vectors, and I can undo quickly without anything interrupting the operation.  So I was wondering what the problem is exactly: is it my hardware? Because if is, I really cannot afford paying more than the $900 I spent on my current machine just to run Animate. If there is no way to fix this, I will have no choice but to cancel my subscription before September (as much as I'd hate to).

Are you keeping up to date with Animate? It used to be that slower machines would not let you draw accurate lines quickly, and the solution to that was to do the smoothing after you finish drawing the lines, but if that smoothing takes some time, which it could do on slower machines, you may see the processing dialog.

There were issues where if you did another action during that time things could go wrong, and later updates have fixed some cases. If you're on the latest version and still see problems, you could report those as new issues here:

You could also contact Mohanaraj about being on the prerelease program, where you could more directly tell the team about issues, and try solutions before they are released.
