ESC key

Does anyone know how to assign the ESCAPE key to a digitizer puck button.
I want to modify the ***BUTTONS1 area of the menu file, but I don't know
what macro to put in there. Thanks!

If your are desiring a cancel just use ^C in the menu.

Actually that won't execute a "true" cancel, ie it won't cancel grips.
Try this, somebody posted this a while back.
^C^P(sssetfirst)(princ);^P
Hope this helps

Try ^c^c^c
Three cancels will cancel any command and make any "hot" grips cold.

Matt,
I don't think so, or at least it doesn't on my machine.
Enjoy,

And check carefully. Depending on the editor you are using you
may get it even if you don't want it, and if you think you've deleted it.
This will totally blow you mind if you are writing attribute extraction templates.

I haven't tried this for a digitizer button, but it works fine when
assigned to a toolbar button:
^c^c_graphscr
or:
^c^c_graphscr;_redraw
The second version simply cleans up the screen; both versions will even
cancel all the way out of a hot grip.

OK, I've tried all of your suggestions -- still no go! The ^C^C^C command
seems to work for a mouse (in the ***AUX1 menu section), but I'm still
having problems with my digitizer (a Summasketch III with 4 button puck).
If I put ^C^C^C in the ***BUTTONS1 section for my puck, the following
occurs (using the "Move" command as an example):
1. Invoke the "move" command.
2. Select object(s)
3. Now if I try to cancel (using the ^C^C^C defined button), I get a
"Invalid point" error. It's seems as if the button is invoking an enter
keypress.
I get the same result using the ^C^P(sssetfirst)(princ);^P command.
When we used to have AutoCAD v12, a ^C^C command worked fine. I am so used
to using the 3rd button on the puck as a true cancel, I really want to
retain this function.

You wouldn't, by any chance, have a trailing space at the end of the ^C^C^C, would
you? That would be translated as a <RETURN>

Good point. I remember having this happen to me back in the dark ages of DOS EDIT. Eeeeeew.

Then you don't have one...
Don't know what else it might be.

Hey John -- thanks for your input. I tried this and it doesn't work on the
puck button.

Here's some of our 16-button (non-shifted) menu
section. I reported that ^c doesn't cancel grips,
so they gave me the '^p(sssetfirst)(princ)' part.
It still won't cancel realtime pan/zoom - no fix
for that.

Hmmm...that's funny. I just tried assigning it to the middle mouse
button, (AUX1 section), and it worked fine, so I don't know why it
wouldn't work on a puck button. I should be around a digitizer in the
next week or so, and I'll try it there.
Wait a minute...are you using a Wintab driver? If so, you might have to
assign it in the AUX1 section. Have you tried this? Just for grins, see
if it works if you replace the $P0=SNAP $p0=* line with ^c^c_graphscr in
the AUX1 section.

Umm, are you using the right mouse button for this, or a digitizer?
Under Windows, I have had trouble assigning any function to that durn
right mouse button (or even the corresponding one on a digitizer...)
