editing dimension without having to type ED to activate command

 i am using  2015 mechanical  AutoCAD  w/ a vanilla profile

First off i am a point and click type user which

means i rather click to activate a command rather than use the key board to do so.

 

i have my  right click customization set to

in defualt mode:

if no obect is selected i get a  short cut menu

 

in edit mode:

if one or more object are selected  i get a shortcut menu

 

and in command mode:

if a command is in progress  right click mean enter

 

when i  select either a muilti text or a single text and i right click i get a menu that give me the option to edit the text

 

however when i  right click a dimension text i get no way to altar or modify the dimension text in the same method as the other text edit options 

i either have to type ED to active the command or add the text in the qiuck properies menu that pops up.

i rather just right click to activate the command like the other text options

Why not double left click on the text? The text editor appears after that here. Same with text, Mtext, and dimension text.

By preforming a double left clicking it  doesn't activate the dimension text

it does activate the single text and the multi text like you said  but not the dimsension text for some reason

 

However i found another way to activate the dimesion text which allow me  to aviod having to type "ED"

i was able to locate a  clickable item which activate the dimesion text 

 

so problem solved  for the most part
