zemax start calculate MF. it consume lot of time (hours)
plots have special button for stopping it at any time

What’s wrong with using alt-f4 to cancel?

In general though, set your Analysis rays to a lower value until you are ready to optimize, then you won’t get such a long time to calculate the MF. 

I’m also curious about why you need 10^8 rays. I prefer to use Sobol sampling and a smaller number of rays when optimizing. Can you share what it is you are trying top optimize? Such a large number of rays seems unnecessary for optimization.

 restart program with current interface relative long. sad this is only 1 way.

I dont need optimization at all, but sometimes occasuonally press wrong button.
