Double-Click Attributed Blocks
« on: October 19, 2009, 10:34:40 PM »

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.

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. :-)

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....

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 ?
