CAROL123 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm on Autocad 2008. I can not edit an existing MTEXT text when I double click it. Is there a commond that needs to be turned on or off? Thanks Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Check that the system variable MTEXTED is set to "Internal" or to null (.) and MTEXTFIXED is set to 2. That could sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAROL123 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks but that didn't work. I think I have a bigger problem. My interface is acting differently along with this issue. My right click menus are not the same. Is there an interface command that needs resetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Check that the QAFLAGS system variable is set to 0, if set to 1 this can cancel MText selection when double-clicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAROL123 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Still not it. Any other things I could try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Mac Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 What exactly happens when you double-click on the MText? i.e. What is printed at the command-line? Is a command left hanging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAROL123 Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Nothing. Command looks unchanged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
