function key

i do not know how other people are dealing with this.

the commands like "connect" and "assign color" can be ended by pressing F6 (Done).

but the commands like "net logic" can not be ended by F6.

is there any way i can end all commands by press F6?

    F6 has a default alias of Done.  F9 is cancel.   I've developed a habit of hitting F6 then F9 for stuff like completion of assigning the DFA property value in a symbol.  File Save is disabled until..

    The Net Logic command has a RMB > Done to exit the command so pressing F6 should end the command.  Make sure your cursor is on the canvas than press F6 and see if it works for you.

    thank you for your reply, RFinley and mcatramb91

    F6 key is not working on the net logic command.

    the connect command has the menu on RMB which shows F6

    however the net logic command has no function key like F6 shown on RMB menu.

    is there something wrong with the setting on my allegro?

    The RMB Menu for Net Logic command does not list the F6 alias but it should still work, give it a try.
