simple edit question

[domer1322]

when using VW 2011 I was able to exit the "edit group" window or the viewport "edit annotations" window by pressing the escape button twice. Now I have VW 2012 and it doesn't work that way. Is there a preference control box somewhere that controls this functionality ? (I can't find it.)

how bout the "exit *****" button in the upper right corner of the window?

Does yours show?

I haven't escaped using the esc x2 but the shortcut is still cmd ]

If it's still in the same place as 2011, it's under the sprocket - top right of the window at the mode bar level.

check exits group.

thanks ... but on my Windows VW2011 hitting the escape key twice will exit from 'edit group' and also exit from 'edit symbol' and also exit from annotate viewport. I just verified that moments ago (and also found the 'sprocket control' ... thanks michaelK). However, at home on my Mac VW2012, it clearly did not work that way. I'll check the "sprocket control" when I go home. Thanks for the help all of you ... I also knew that i can press the box in the upper right corner, but if I use my right hand mouse, the esc key was easier (I use a right hand mouse at home and a left hand mouse at work.)
