Everytime I double click on single line text it brings up the properties. I have searched online and made the changes to certain toggle settings and still nothing. I'm not doing something right I just can't figure it out. I know "DDEDIT" can do the trick. But, I know double clicking has worked on previous version and I want it to work on my 2013 version. It's now become a personal mission of mine to fix. It just annoying.
Hi,
I just had this problem. Your pickfirst is probably set to 0. If you set it to 1 then doubleclick, it should allow yopu to edit the text without having to use the ddedit command.
Hope this helps.
In my case when I double click it change FONT to default and somehow I didn't have that font loaded, you can check this if you change text to mtext (TXT2MTXT), there's a "preview", on the ribbon, that it won't show, because you are missing that font, the way you can fix it is going to options (OP), add the path where your fonts are store, this is on the tab "files", and "Support File Search Path", press "Add" button, and press button "Browse" to add that path, or simply change the font on that specific "Font style" type the command "Style" and change it, hope it helps....
AutoCAD had this which worked for me:
Enable Noun/Verb Selection. To turn this setting on, do one of the following:
Just want to say thanks to everyone that helps on this forum. I always search first and find the answer to almost any issue.
Your pickfirst command got set back to "0" or off. Set it back to "1" or on.
This is occurring for me as well, and I have checked all of the aforementioned settings as discussed in this thread.
It's worth adding that my right click customization settings have been reset to default every time I've opened CAD for the last few days. This happens occasionally when I experience a "fatal error" crash, but when this happened in the past, the only after-effect was that my auto save would get turned off. All other custom settings were retained.
I'm going to back up my work to an external HDD and do a system restore on the computer to see if that helps. Not an option for most, but I think (hope) that it works for me.
"Somehow my PICKFIRST variable changed. The PICKFIRST variable allows you to select objects, then start a command and apply to those objects. If PICKFIRST is off (set to 0), you have to start the command first then pick the object. SettingPICKFIRST to 1 or enabling it gets you back to the behavior where you can select the object then launch the command (double-click). "
