Macedog Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'm using Autocad 2007. I've created an atrribute block, and when I double-click it I want the ATTEDIT dialog box to open. I went into the CUI and changed the double click option to ATTEDIT, which i've done before and worked fine. For some reason this time when i double click the block, it starts the attedit command, but in the command line it asks me to select block. So it's actually works, but i have to do the double click and then another single click on the block to bring the atttedit dialog box up. Is there a setvar or something that i need to change so the the dialog box pops up after the double-click and don't need to select the block again for it. Thx for the help. Also this is the first computer i installed it on with windows 7, running in compatibility mode, that may be the problem. Any Advice appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Have you set the system variable FILEDIA to 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macedog Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Yes, FILEDIA is set to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hughes Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Things likely have changed since my copy of r14 but ATTEDIT is the command line edit and DDATTE is the dialog edit. Might this be the problem/solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Try changing the value of DBLCLKEDIT, settings are 1 or 0. Change that at the command line and then try doubleclicking on the block again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macedog Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks for the advice, but nothing seems to work yet. I'll keep trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Go into the CUI and copy the macro for doubleclicking on a attribute block, then post that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I didn't see this in any of the responses, but did you make sure "Double Click Editing" is checked under OPTIONS > User Preferences? ...AND I just realized this was posted in 2011. Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
