Ruler (bind-key 'k') not functioning as desired

RFStuff

Dear All,

It may be a silly question. But the issue is creating a lot of problem for me.

I want to draw the ruler from 'x' point to 'y' point orthogonal.The ruler should begin at 'x' and end exactly at 'y'

I draw the ruler like:-

                           1) Press button 'k'

                           2) Zoom in   ( hiZoomIn() ) to the desired point ( x) location by clicking Right Mouse Botton ( for getting the exacr point fine ZOOM-IN)

                           3) Then  press Left Mouse botton at point 'x'

                          4) Then I press Zoom-Out in the Tool Bar (Course Zoom-Out)

                         5)   Zoom in   ( hiZoomIn() ) to the desired point ( x) location by clicking Right Mouse Botton ( for getting the exacr point fine ZOOM-IN)   

                         6) Then  pressRight Mouse botton at point 'y'   

 

This works fine for me. But at times I don't know what happens, while doing zoom-in using Mouse ( when I press Right Mouse botton) the Ruler gets marked.

Then I have to close icfb ( IC5141) and restart it. Then things work fine.

Could anybody please tell why it is happening so  and what should be done to avoid it.

Kind Regads,

  • Rather than using control-c you can just hit escape a few times to cancel out of nested functions. If you have multiple editor windows open within the same icfb, make sure you escape nested commands in all the windows - the nest limit is global, not per-window (if my recollection is correct). I think there was an issue in older versions where you could end up with uncancellable nested commands if you closed a window in the middle of a command (not sure if that was resolved by the version you're using)

    Finally you can increase the nest limit in options->user preferences in the CIW.
