Small Fish Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I could be wrong but I think I remember in past versions of Acad, double clicking on dimension text, to bring up the Mtext Editor. This does not happen in Acad 2010. Anyone know how to make it work again? I saw a web site that explains how to do it in acad 2007 : http://hyperpics.blogs.com/beyond_the_ui/2006/08/double_clicking.html Unfotunately this does not work in acad 2010 as there is no command for "edit". I guess I could make one macro would contain "DDEIT". However what do I add for Dimsion double click action? Has anyone had any experience of fixing this problem? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinprakoso Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) You can add one more doubleclick action. Give it a name, and fill DIMENSION in object name. This action will respond if you double click a dimension. You don't need to add a macro for DDEDIT. The command name is Text, Edit... Sorry for the name in attachment, I find the command after I uploaded the image.

Small Fish Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Edwin - hey that works sweet! Beats me why Autocad don't already have double clicking on dimensions as a default. Many thanks for your effort cheers S.F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinprakoso Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 It has actually. When you double click a dimension, it will open the properties palette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Small Fish Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yes but that's not the same as the Mtext Editor. You try editing dimension text in the properties palette. - difficult! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
