Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

To undo the last action use the undo method of the document object. Its counterpart, the redo method, is also available.

import FreeCAD

FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.undo()

When running FreeCAD in pure console mode (CLI), the undo/redo mechanism isn't enabled by default. It must be explicitly activated for each document.

import FreeCAD

FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.UndoMode = 1
