JBullseye74 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Can you make and autocad button / icon / on a toolbar to have exactly the same function as pressing the escape key? NOT the cancel command as this doesn't cancel objects highlighted etc. This is in case i loose my left hand in a freak accident..!! Quote

SEANT Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 The same question was posed on the Autodesk Forum by someone who was recovering from shoulder surgery. This was the proposed solution: ^C^C^P(ai_deselect) ^P I've tried it and it does indeed work. Quote
yedan Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 or you can customise an icon to use. ^c^c_graphscr;_redraw as a command Quote

Squirltech Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Just tried this today. Works great! I don't know how much I'll actually use it but you never know. Thanks for posting! Quote
Squirltech Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Just tried this today. Works great! I don't know how much I'll actually use it but you never know. Thanks for posting! Update: Turns out I use this quite a bit. I think because it's just handy "on the way" to other commands. I've also created a "go home" tool button that does a zoom extents, purge, qsave and exit all with one click. I put a mug of beer for the icon image. Quote
Patrick Hughes Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I put a mug of beer for the icon image. Brilliant! Quote
Squirltech Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I've made two more buttons. The first unloads ALL XREF's and the second reloads ALL XREF's in the current drawing. ^C^C-XREF;U;* ^C^C-XREF;R;* I want more creative button images but this is what I have for now. Any suggestions would be good. Thanks! Quote
PotGuy Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Squirl, do you still have the code, and mind sharing it? Quote
Squirltech Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Squirl, do you still have the code, and mind sharing it? Which code? The escape key code is near the beginning of this thread. The XREF reload/unload code is also in this thread. Quote
Squirltech Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Recently updated the Beer Mug and Escape Key button images. Quote
Dana W Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Well. I clicked on it. Still waiting for my beer, and a chance to esc. Quote
