Im in 2019 and Im unable to close after entering the "edit assembly". There is no finish or close box. Its not floating off somewhere or hidden behind anything. I have searched thoroughly. No amount of keyboard shortcut adds or removals has helped, and this has been ongoing for sometime.
I have even gone to the extreme of removing EVERY short cut key and reentering only what I need. Still no change, still stuck in edit assembly with no way of closing out and saving my changes.
I do have 2 monitors, so by chance, I went into my taskbar settings to fool around with them and see what I could figure out. After trying multiple combinations and re-editing my short cut keys again, I finally found a working solution.
Im not sure which settings impacted the issue and caused it to finally start working, so I will list all the settings I changed.
Combine Taskbar buttons Never
Show taskbar buttons on taskbar where the window is open
Combine Buttons on other taskbars Never
In Revit, I went into options, user interface, keyboard shortcuts, customize and typed in "Finish" .
Under "Finish Contextual Tabs>Edit Assembly" I added my shortcut FA (you can add whatever) and closed out.
In the project I opened my assembly, made my change, then typed in FA. VIOLA!!! The assembly closed.
Again, I am not sure all of these changes are required, they are just the changes I had made when it finally started working.
