It's 2012. It's HIGH TIME, Autodesk!! Stop giving us the runaround, feature request form links, the stonewalling. Stop giving us new buttons for the same old features. Listen to your users and stop putting up barricades.
Give us a CANCEL COMMAND or ESCAPE key functionality. A vast host of experienced Inventor users and gurus have begged, pleaded, cajoled for lo these many years. Enough is enough.
If you are a user and agree, please reply that you agree.
Autodesk, in case you haven't been reading these forums, here's a short list of threads throughout the years. The requesters reads like a who's who of Inventor users, mentors, and distinguished contributors. FOR 10 YEARS now:
Starting with:
Leo Laimer, Ed Rassmusen, Peer Hoffmann, 2002: http://tinyurl.com/7bm5ysg

D ick, count me in. I´m feeling this pain. Using Inventor since v4 and always had these moments where I dreamt about stoping Inventor from doing what it´s doing when I realised: "This is not going to happen".
For example showing surface curvature and setting the resolution too high.
Autodesk, show us longterm users a little respect and state something so we can keep our faith in you
cheers Falk
P.S.: Your name isn´t youth approved lol
It sure would have been nice to have a cancel command when I accidently typed 603 degrees instead of 60.
Agree!!
Lightscape had a cancel (to keep you from being stuck rendering for 20 years.)
They even had a "shift" cancel (I beleive)for those who didn't want to wait for the regular cancel.
Not saying we need two levels of cancel.... one would be good though 🙂
Agreed. I'm working with 2013 with an assembly file created in earlier versions. Just adding a mating constraint to an added component takes several minutes to resolve, and I killed Inventor twice now, thinking that it choked for some (yet another reason... 2013 sucks!). It has long been a complaint of mine that there is no command cancel. How dumb is that.
Hi blentner,
There is an existing IdeaStation idea for this. Please lend your support by giving this idea a kudo:

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

If you are taking several minutes to apply one constraint, I think that maybe an escape command is not your biggest concern. Sounds like you may have some underlying issues.

How about a dead-time for Cancel/ESC?
Meaning a scan only at 15 s - 30 s - 45 s. The user has to press ESC for a max. time of 15s between these scans, but it would be better than waiting for several minutes until final Taskmanager break, without any chance for a rebuild of work after the last saving.
