Close modal dialogs with
ESC
A
modal dialog
can be described as a child window that requires the user to interact with it before returning to the parent dialog. Take for example, the
Models
dialog. This can be described as the parent, while the
Edit Model Properties
dialog would be a child. Ditto with the
Create Model
,
Copy Model
, and
Import Models
dialogs.
In any case, to quickly close a model dialog, just tap the
ESC
key. Note that this is standard operating procedure for Windows applications and is not limited to MicroStation.
