The following pre-packaged resource, derived from this base command, is available:

Cancel Action

Applied Parameters: None

Summary

This feature is used to cancel the current command.

Access

This command can be accessed from the CAMtastic Editor by:

Right-clicking within the workspace, while placing a polyline object, and choosing the Cancel Action command from the context menu.
Using the Esc keyboard shortcut.

While performing most interactive commands, right-clicking also cancels the action. Typically, this will be at the point before the main sub-process begins (e.g. prior to selection of objects on which to operate), or where the main sub-process has completed, and the interactive command awaits selection of further objects to perform that sub-process again.

Use

After launching the command, the active command will be aborted.

Tips

If the current command uses a dialog at any stage, this feature will only cancel out of the dialog. You will need to use the feature again to completely abort the command.
