Since upgrading to ACAD 2011, I can no longer use the Escape key to close the Purge dialogue box. I need to use the mouse to hit the Close button. Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?

When I start the command, if there is nothing to purge, I'm able to use the keyboard "o" to Close it, but if there is something to purge, I'll hit "a" to purge all, but when I've done that, dialogue focus is lost, and I can no longer hit "o" to close. I've tried a bunch of other key combos, but haven't stumbled on the right one. Any ideas?

When I press Escape, the purge dialog closes, if I purge all, by hitting a, I can then hit o and it closes (IOW it seems to work fine on my station). perhaps there is something else messed up with your settings.

Thanks for checking. Unless someone else has a suggestion, I'll put it down to those nasty gremlins, and suffer in silence.

perhaps it is something with your video card driver or mouse settings that doesnt return focus to the proper area? are you running 2011 version 2.1? (update 1.1)

We upgraded to Windows 7 and Revit/Acad 2011 at the same time, so anything could have happened, with regards to drivers. I'll poke around a bit.

Acad version is E.49.0.0, so looks like not the most recent.

I believe the latest version is E.115.0.0
