Autocad 2014

[KenJG]

Hello All,

I have some general questions which I can't seem to find and answer on the net.

1. I used ACAD 2009 previously and when I double clicked a line/circle, the Properties Box opened. In ACAD2014, the Quick Properties Box opens. Can I change it NOT to open the Quick Properties and just open the standard Properties Box?

2. When double click on a Dimension in A2014, it shows me to edit the text in that dim. A2009 the Properties Box opened. Can I change this so it works like 2009?

3. When I create a dim a2014 and it is NOT centered/aligned, it does NOT show using right-click like a2009 to HOME/center the text.

Please ask if more questions are needed. Sorry for being vague on my questions.

Thank you & Best Regards

Ummm couldn't you turn off Quick Properties? i am at work, so I only have 2013 to reference -- but there is a toggle on the bar at the bottom of the screen (the tooltips should identify which is QP). Alternatively, ctrl-shift-p should bring up QPMode. That toggles it on and off.

1. CUI command, Double-Click Actions entry, change what you need for the object types.
2. same answer as above.
3. that's a DIMSTYLE setting, always has been, unless you like to always change it after the fact. DUIMSTYLE command>Modify Button>TEXT Tab, Text Placement.

For #3, select the dimension & hover over the text grip. See if the option you need is in the multifunctional grip menu.
