ColinPearson Posted Monday at 02:34 PM Posted Monday at 02:34 PM Hello internet world. I feel like something changed in my CAD a couple months ago and I can't double click a block to open the Block Editor anymore. I started getting this message "The selected block has no editable attributes." I've been getting by by using either REFEDIT or BEDIT but it's annoying not being able double click. For both Blocks and Dynamic Blocks, the double click action in the CUI is set to BEDIT. This affects all blocks in all drawings. I've attached a sample drawing if it helps. Any ideas? Thank y'all in advance!! Drawing1.dwg Quote
BIGAL Posted Monday at 11:30 PM Posted Monday at 11:30 PM Your dwg on opening gave an error. Maybe that is the problem. Quote
ColinPearson Posted 14 hours ago Author Posted 14 hours ago @BIGAL lemme try another, I don't get the same error and have never seen that dialog myself. Thanks for looking. Drawing2.dwg Quote
Steven P Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago They opened on double click OK for me just then, Wonder if you have changed a variable somewhere by mistake? A quick search suggests: PICKFIRST = 1 DTEXTED = 2 DBLCLKEDIT = 1 QAFlags set to 0 Running sysvarmonitor might show system variables that have recently changed Quote
ColinPearson Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago Thanks for the reply @Steven P. I had all those the same except QAFLAGS which was set to 16. Never heard of that one; I set to 0 but saw no change. I also have checked that nothing got wonky in the CUI, and for the Double Click Action for both Blocks and Dynamic Blocks, I have the same command. I have seen versions of advice that say it should read BEDIT, -BEDIT, and _BEDIT and have tried all of them with no effect. Also ran SYSVARMONITOR and changed PICKAUTO and SELECTIONPREVIEW to their preferred values, still no change. However, I expanded my command lines at the bottom and took a better look at what's happening. When I double click on a Block, I get the following, so it's actually trying to run TEXTEDIT, despite the fact that I have BEDIT set in the Double Click Action. Command: ampoweredit textedit Current settings: Edit mode = Multiple Select an annotation object or [Undo/Mode]: The selected block has no editable attributes. Select an annotation object or [Undo/Mode]: nil Quote
