参数:¶

maxUndoCacheElements=0¶: A Float specifying the maximum allowable mesh edit undo cache size in millions of elements. If this value is set to at least the number of elements on a given part or part instance, at least one level of undo/redo capability is assured for subsequent mesh edit operations on that part or part instance. The default value is 0.0.
