copy text using only one letf mouse click

Hello everyone.
Since one week, I'm using Autocad 2016.
In olds versions (2009 exactly), doing double click in a simple text, the whole text is selected. Later, with the right button, I select to copy.
Once copied, I select another simple text with only one click, and can give the chosen text.
Now with the 2016, I need to give double click, to can do it.
Some help to be able to do it with only one click? 

Thanks in advance

I thought in olds versions, doing double click in a simple text it would be edit text depends on your DBLCLKEDIT

It's not clear what it is you are having problems with exactly: can you explain in more detail with examples please?

 

Also, pelase feel free to write in your native language if that helps.

Lo intentaré explicar en español.

En la versión anterior que utlizaba, AutoCad 2009 LT, tenía varios textos de una sola línea, y quería modificarlos, hacía lo siguiente:

 

1.- Doble click con botón izquierdo sobre el texto a modificar.

2.- Modifico el texto.

3.- Y para volver a modificar otro texto, solamente necesitaba dar un sólo click sobre dicho texto, para que resaltara, y poder modificarlo.

 

Ahora, con el AutoCad 2016 LT, para poder modificarlos, debo hacer lo siguiente:

 

1.- Doble click con botón izquierdo sobre el texto a modificar.

2.- Modifico el texto.

3.- Y para volver a modificar otro texto, ahora necesito volver a hacer doble click sobre el texto, para que resalte, y poder modificarlo.

 

¿Hay alguna manera de poder hacerlo, con un sólo click?

Muchas gracias a todos.

Un saludo

I understand what you mean.  In AutoCAD 2015, the old DDEDIT command was replaced with the TEXTEDIT command, which works differently from the old command.

You can get the old behavior back by changing your button macro or making a LISP for a keyboard shortcut.

This macro was suggested

^C^C_multiple _textedit

Use a star which does the same as multiple in a macro:
*^C^C_TEXTEDIT

I think it's that in older versions, when you call up the text editor for plain Text, the full content of the Text entity is pre-selected/highlighted, and in newer versions it is not.  So under the old operation, to replace it wholesale you can just start typing, or to copy it all to paste somewhere else, you can just right-click and pick Copy [or hit Ctrl+C], without needing to grab it all first in either case, because it's already grabbed.

 

I would suggest a Search of the Forums.  Something at least very like this has come up before, though what I'm remembering may have been someone wanting to have that all-content-pre-selected situation in editing Mtext, rather than a version difference in the operation of the text editor for plain Text.  But the latter issue may also have been raised before.
