Double Click Blocks to edit attributes

[jgregp]

Using LT 2014 on Win 7 Pro.

Recently got a new PC and due to problems with regular LT crashes I have recreated my customizations etc. from scratch.

Finally seem to have got everything working OK and how I it was on my old PC, other than one minor issue.

I have edited the CUI so that the "old" attribute editor (ATTEDIT) is launched rather than the enhanced (EATTEDIT) version.

However after double clicking a block a further third click is required to select block/launch editor.

Editing CUI back to EATTEDIT works ok with only a double click required.

Anyone have any thoughts on what may be wrong  - I'm stumped.

TIA

Check your code perhaps: what did you put in there as the replacement?

[jgregp]

I have edited the macro to read ^C^C_ATTEDIT

I think this correct?

Works other than needing an annoying extra click.

Is it a dynamic block you're editing? If it is have you changed the setting for 'Attribute Dynamic Block'?

[jgregp]

This particular block is not dynamic (is our title sheet) but I had amended the setting for "Attribute Dynamic Block" as well anyway.

Has it got any MText in it? That might be a problem.

I have an block with an mtext attribute in it and I have to click three times. Twice to get the block editor dialog box up and once on the '...' button so I can edit the text.

[jgregp]

Title Sheet block does have some MText, but have tried on a block with only 1 attribute and get same problem.

Double-click block, cursor changes to the pickbox, then i have to click block a third time and the editor opens.

If you can post one of the offending drawings. If there is a problem with posting an actual drawing, just post one which only has your title block and nothing else in it

DWG attached.

I have also inserted a couple of other blocks I use, and have same issue with.

[hwalker]

Ok I just loaded it up and double clicking worked fine (don't worry I haven't finished yet)

I was then looking through some variables and there is one called PICKFIRST. I changed that to 0 and couldn't even double click the blocks.

So at the command prompt type in PICKFIRST. Change it to 1 and see if that helps.

[jgregp]

I already have PICKFIRST set to 1.

Unfortunately I don't know too much about the variables in LT, but as I said I loaded up your drawing and double clicking on all three of your blocks called up the dialog box.

Can you do a repair reinstall of Autocad, just in case something has changed?

[jgregp]

Thanks for your efforts, will try a repair reinstall when time permits.

Friday deadlnes are fast approaching!
