exit without saving/ quit a design skill function?

 Hi all,

Is anyone aware of a function that will exit out of a allegro database without saving? Basically, quit out.

I want to create a test coupon on symbol, but don't need the .dra file.

Thanks,

Jerry

     Hi Dave,

    Sent you an email, but thought I would post here also.

    Is there away to return "nil" and not start a new design? 

    When I use axlKillDesign(), to always returns "t" and starts a new unamed design. I want to quit out completely.

    Thanks,

    Jerry

    Maybe you just want to use axlShell("quit")? That will throw you right out of Allegro.
