Edit block in place on right click menu is missing

jiaguirre — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 14:56:41 GMT

When making right click on this block, the menu doesn't show the option to edit block in place... I think it is something on this particular block, as other blocks work normally, and when copying this block on other archive it still doesn't work. REFEDIT works, but I find it more confortable with right-click and would like to fix it. I'm working in AutoCAD LT 2023. Any ideas?? Thanks.

Edit: added the file. The one on the right is the one with the problem.

You'll have to share your DWG with that block in it, if what you want works fine in this DWG file with all other blocks, but is missing only when this object is selected.

Hi @jiaguirre ,

The block you are trying to edit in-place has attributes, but there is a bug (or feature) in PopMenuRoot.cui file in AutoCAD for Mac (both full and LT): it doesn't include "Edit block in place" item for blocks with attributes.

Unfortunately there is no official way to edit this CUI file in AutoCAD for Mac and add "Edit block in place" item. But you can still use REFEDIT command to edit such block with attributes in-place.

Another way is to edit PopMenuRoot.cui file manually to add "Edit block in place" item for blocks with attributes.

"pickfirst = 1" worked for me
