2022 attribute block edit - 2 edit windows?

hwood818 — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 21:11:50 GMT

Just upgraded to autocad 2022. When I double click on a block either to fill in attributes or to edit the block it starts out functioning as normal. Then when I'm done making changes I select OK and the window closes. Then it brings up another window of the same attribute editor. I then have to select ok again before it closes. It is doing it on multiple files that worked fine in 2019. Is everyone else having this same issue? Or is there a setting I am missing?

It is hard to show but basically when I double click on a titleblock i get the window below where I can update the attributes. Once I hit OK, this window leaves and then comes right back up again looking just like this. I have to hit OK again and it leaves and doesnt return. It does it on multiple titleblocks that I have tried but doesnt happen in 2019. Just when I use 2022. It also does the same thing with regular block edits. I basically have do to it twice before it will stick.

same problem in my sample?

How is it if you navigate by [Tab] to [OK] and pressing OK by [Enter]-Hit?

Yes i have the same problem with your sample block. If I use the [tab] it still does the same thing.

TAB&Enter? Wow, I was not expecting that!

Sorry, I have no more ideas and would be there
Repair install, reset to default (export settings to security)

Thank you for the advice! I am closer to an answer as I have figured out that it is not an Autocad issue but a Cadworx Plant issue. I have plant open so often that I forget to try them separately. Autocad seems to work fine. I have moved this question over to a Cadworx forum and we'll see if we can get it answered there. Thank you for your time!

Can you post a link to that discussion or just the fix? I can not find it via search.

I found that it is fixed with the latest service pack of cadworx. Currently running Cadworx Plant 22 SP1 on AutoCAD 22 and i havent had the problem since I installed the service pack.
