System Information
Operating system: Window 10
Graphics card: Not an issue.

Blender Version
Broken: 2.29b
(example: 2.79b release)
(example: 2.80, edbf15d3c044, blender2.8, 2018-11-28, as found on the splash screen)
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
I was using Measureit and on the right panel and accidentally hit "delete all" button at the bottom and everything to do with Measureit disappeared on that side. I've tried everything to get ti back but no luck.

I deleted Blender and reinstalled, that didn't work.
Restored the computer to an earlier date before I installed Blender, that didn't work.
Checked the registry couldn't find anything.
deleted the file "Blender Foundation" in %appdata% , that didn't work.
I mean like wow. I thought I was pretty good on computers but this has my stumped. There has got to be a way to undo my error. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Delete all remove all measures, but I don't see any relations to Blender installation.

Thank you for your fast response. Well that's what I thought. The "delete all" would simply "remove" the dimensions in the current view port but this happened.

This is an image before I hit the "delete all" button.

An image of what happened have after I hit the "delete all" button.

Everything disappeared and can't restore it.

Thank you for your help.

I cannot reproduce it. I have added segments to the default cube and delete all ans the panel is still visible.

@ILoveBoobies : This doesn't sound like a bug. MeasureIt's tool panel "Show/Hide" button is what toggles visibility for the dimensions in the current view, the N Panel's "Delete All" removes them from the object entirely. If you clicked the "Delete All" button, I don't think there is a way you can undo that action so the measurements are restored unless you saved a copy of the scene to a blend file before clicking "Delete All" that you can reload. If you hit "Delete All" you will have to manually re-add measurements to the scene.

@antoniov : This is loosely related, but was there issues with undoing / redoing the creation and deletion of measurements from the scene with the undo history? Or was this an option you had not looked into for MeasureIt? I don't have time to check at the moment, but I think the syntax for an operator class's "bl_" property was:

bl_options = {'REGISTER', 'UNDO'}

I figured out what was going on. It's a stupid operator error on my part. I'm new to Blender and have a lot to learn. Being an exciting program, it's also frustrating as well.

It's nice to know there are people who take away their time to help others.

I thank you all for your help.
