In this office,
Some computers display the selected attribute in the editor after double-clicking attributed blocks ( ie running _eattedit).
Some don't. Any sensible ideas ??
Regards
Kerry
ps: using AC2007 Mechanical today.

Options>>User Preferrences>>Windows Standard behaviour (double Click) setting is set to ?
DBLCLKEDIT
-
I'll check tomorrow at work.
Here at home on 2010 the DBLCLKEDIT (0 or 1 ) value makes no difference. The Enhanced Attribute Editor has the selected attribute value in focus in the textbox.
-
done a bit of reading
Wouldn't be surprised if the difference is the prog' called at DoubleClick
EATTEDIT
as opposed to
ATTEDIT
Though I did check that DoubleClick was using _EATTEDIT ??
may be a specific issue with ACADM2007 (mechanical)

Issue
None of the double-click editing functions are working, even though the DBLCLKEDIT variable is set to 1.
Solution
This may occur if Noun/Verb Selection is turned off. To turn this setting on, do one of the following:
In the Options dialog box, click the Selection tab and select the Noun/Verb Selection check box.
Set the PICKFIRST variable to 1.

I know this doesn't help solve the problem, but I just wanted to add this discovery. In 2009 (not sure if in older versions), if you hold the Ctrl key down and double click on an attribute, it will open a single line editor for the selected attribute.
Just wanted to share. :-)

Thanks Michael,
second thing I checked :)

Yes Alan, thanks
and if you hold down ALT and double click on an attribute, that attribute value has focus in the editor.

To make it more confusing,
Command: _eattedit ... works as expected from the command line.
Double-clicking calls the same commang ... but works differently

have you exported either or both the CUI, and the Profile (arg file) from a machine where it works as desired to a machine where it doesn't, set current and tested?
I'm seeing a document in my head, where it was addvised to modify the CUI, for some reason associated with this.....now if only I could find it....
-
Thanks for the thread....this has been annoying me....but not enough to figure it out on my own. :-D

Did we solve your issue? (yet)
Or should we keep throwing darts at it?

I remember the doc as well, so at least I can confirm your remembering is not a figment :)

I thought the document was one of Lynn Allens tips and tricks sessions?
Or am I totally misunderstanding you good people ?

Nah, I'm fair certain it is or was a regular KB document...
and the kicker is, I'm pretty sure I saw it before I posted the first response in the thread....
however seeing that it was about 'modifying' the CUI, I discounted it as NOT being relevant. (wrong)
as it may very well prove to be...

I'm late to the party, and this might not be of any use to the topic, but we have a bunch of blocks here that weren't really created "properly" and they behave this way.
Revision blocks, for example, have many instances of the same attribute tag (ie. Drawn by: XX and Checked by: XX). If the tags are the same, double clicking will not 'go to' the selected attribute... it will bring the first attribute up in the editor. As long as the selected attribute is unique in that block, it will work as expected.
If that helps anyone... :?

this document is particularly relevant to the Mechanicl Product: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=8324533&linkID=9240897 (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=8324533&linkID=9240897)
You want to know if there is a way to turn off the AMPOWEREDIT command, so it is not invoked when you double-click.
Solution
There is no way to change this behavior in either AutoCAD® Mechanical or Autodesk® Mechanical Desktop®.
hmmm....could be

and here is a Link to the CUI method...this may or may not be the answer...however it is proof that my mind isn't quite yet gone~

bit of a late one here...CTRL dbl-clk opens up the individual attribute in a txt box (not in the ATT Editor!)
