Cancel Publish - Is this not possible?

[Kevin McAllister]

I accidentally ran publish with the "Update visible out of date viewports prior to updating" checkbox checked for each sheet (why its a separate option for each sheet I'll never know). Once the publish script is running there seems to be no way to break out of it. Command Period will cancel an individual render and the script will move on to the next one, but it seems impossible to cancel the whole process. Is this true? Its super frustrating to have VW become unresponsive. In the end I force quit the application which I really hate doing.

Thanks Jim. I guess this is a known issue.

I have a similar issue. I am rendering one project in the background and tried to publish another after making some changes. The publish script won't go past the first page and I can't cancel it. So I guess my only recourse is to force quit Vectorworks.

Why does basic functionality like this get ignored by VW for years? - we don't need bells and whistles, we do need CAD software for day to day work.

Force quit works if you saved before publishing. Which is wise anyway.

on the Mac, command+. (several times) stops all my rendering and brought me back to the publish window.

I think you'll find that it sends the previously rendered viewports back to wireframe.
