sometimes i am lazy (newschool, if you will) and depend heavily on toolbar buttons to operate autocad (and leaving my arm draped across the keyboard to slap ESC gets old sometimes). i looked everywhere for a way to make ESC a button using macro, but to no avail. decided to figure it out myself and with some fooling around i found a descent way. the trouble with making a button simply cancel a command (^C^C) is that it does not clear selected grips. but entering REDO in the command line will. so my solution was the button macro: ^C^C_REDO

make it a button and click away. it will simply end everything your doing to tell you there is nothing to redo (providing you didnt just undo). hope someone can use this.

Why not use the macro for Deselect All off the short-cut menu?

^C^C^P(ai_deselect) ^P
