Attributes default location

rsimx123 · ‎10-20-2023

When I edit an attribute, (in the attribute editor) how do I default into the value field? Currently I have to manually click inside the value field first, then type a value. Too much clicking. slows me way down.

Hi @rsimx123 ,

Do you mean that on Mac when you double-click on attribute inside block with multiple attributes, it opens dialog for editing attributes, but double clicked attribute is not selected in it?

If yes, then you can:

- Use Properties Palette for editing attributes. Just select block and look at the Attributes section on the Properties Palette

or

- Double-click the attribute while holding down the Ctrl key. In this case you can edit attribute right "in place", without opening dialog. AutoCAD starts ATTIPEDIT command in such case.

Thanks, I also discovered ATTEDIT. As long as my attribute is a single line.
