Topic: How do you terminate an ACAD command?

Good morning

What is your preferred method for terminating an ACAD command?

[hendie]

you missed right click only which is what I use

[Guest]

I actually use all of the above (except I have my right-click set up as an <ENTER> only) depending on the mood/command I'm in.

Ditto Matt, though ESC is most common, so I voted for that.

I have my RightClick menus set like Hendie.  So depending on the command and what it's expecting for entry, I may simply right click.

All of the above.  Right click is Enter Only, too.

Almost forgot the occasional "three-finger-salute" when ESC won't work.

CTRL + Alt + Delete ?

BINGO!

Thanks for your input everyone.  How do you set the right-click so it acts as the enter key?

My mouse has 2 extra buttons, one each on each side.

I have the Right one programmed as ESC.

It makes it much easier to terminate a command when ENTER is not appropriate.

I prefer to use the right click, but with some of the commands in electrical (or the customization my company did) it doesn't let you enter out of a command, so I have to use esc.  I voted for right click though, as that is my preferred way to exit a command.

Thanks Josh

I use the Awnold method...

OK, bad joke.

Right Click.

And for those "special" Civil 3D moments when nothing else will do . . . the old end process button in task manager - it still may take 3 or more tries before kicking in but at least I don't have to resort to the power button since 2007 came out.
