I am importing geometry from another app as eps files, then converting curves to mesh, etc.

Now I want to get the "curves to mesh" dialog back.

if you didn't freeze the modeling history then you can access the operator using explorer (key 8 or f3)

Pardon my ignorance, but I did that but I still don't see how to get the dialog window back up. I've tried clicking on all the items under the object... no luck.

The only way I can find to get the dialog back is to start over by importing the eps file again and converting curves to mesh.

Surely there is a way to get this dialog back to make refinements without having to reinvent the wheel?

You are in Immed mode? When you create the mesh, you have the "ok - cancel" buttons?
If you are in Immed mode you canīt modify the mesh back.

If you are not in Immed mode, then look for "Curve To Mesh Converter" below Poligon Mesh,
in the mesh created.

No... not in immed mode. To further explore this, I just imported the curve, did the curve to mesh (polygon 9)... and I get the "Scene_Root:polymsh9:PolygonMesh:Curve to Mesh Converter."

Now, even with that dialog on screen, when I look at the explorer, I still don't see the dialog under polymsh9. The options are Kinematics, Visibility, Ambient Lighting, Display, Geometry Approximation and Scene Material.

Then -- nevermind... apparently, if you delete the inputs, the curve to mesh converter is no longer available... I didn't know that. dangit. Ugh.

When you delete the inputs, if the relations are still live, you resulting mesh are deleted too, so in this case, you donīt have more relations between the inputs and the mesh.

I never happend so I donīt know whats wrong here.
