Ability to cancel commands

[ptc-4864603]

One mis-click can sometimes end up wasting a lot of time.

I've had instances where I've misclicked and ended up wasting 30 minutes waiting fo a command I didn't mean to run finish.

You mean: make the cancel button work immediately instead of finishing the command and then backtracking it

[ptc-4864603]

Yes, exactly!    Most of the time that icon isn't even there.

Just today I hit Expand All instead of Collapse All on a 2,700 part assembly, after furiously hitting the ESC key I went to lunch.

(You would think after 6 months with Creo I'd know that it doesn't do anything, habits are hard to break)

Does this mean the esc key really escapes? You have my vote!
