Hello,
As a former AutoCAD user, I like being able to use the Escape key to end the current command. I already know how to allow this in Workspace>Preferences>Input.
I have also played around a bit with button assignments and can see how that works.
What I cannot see, however, is a way of assigning the Escape key to a mouse button, so that I can use a side button to end a command. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'm using V8i.
Thanks for your help.
Robert

MicroStation's command engine works like this...
As mwlong notes, the Reset button often does what's required. There's no need to stop a command.
A command can be interrupted by a view command (e.g. zoom). Exit the view command with Reset (right-click) to return to your current active command.

in workspace preferences you can also enable the escape key to end commands. In addition the old keyin "NULL" can also stop of clearout any stuck commands... but most of the time the reset rmb does the trick and when it doesnt use the enabled escape key from keyboard like acad does.

Thanks, but I know about this dialogue box. I was hoping ofr a typed equivalent to assign to a mouse button. "Null" is close, but not what I'm looking for. Perhaps it's not possible in MS.
