How can you stop v5 when it freezes up?

I am not constantly plagued with v5 locking up, but it does happen more times than I can count. It seems to me that the every now and then, it will keep trying to process information for minutes on end. What I need to know is if there is any way to stop CATIA from processing information short of entering the task manager and shutting down the CATIA application.

Hi ken,
In CATIA V4, DS had provided an interrupt command to kill the execution of commands.
In CATIA V5, there is no such command. hence the users have no option but to terminate the process if the processing takes more time and users loses the patience.
I found that on AIx sometimes using CTRl + X keys on the console running the CATIA kills the execution of the current executing command and not CATIA. but this is not always true. So, Take care before you go for this....

vikram,

Someone one another forum told me to try using the Select arrow button the next time it locks up. Wouldn't you know I haven't had a lock-up since! Well, I do hope to try both your method and theirs.

Thanks!

This is interesting.  Can you be more specific?  I'm not sure what you mean by using the select arrow button.
