Topic: Double Click Function on Mouse

[BJordan]

Hi there

I hope that someone can help me.  I am on Autocad 2006 and since Monday I have lost my double click function when it comes to editing text.  At the same time I also can not use the delete key on the keyboard to delete highlighted objects.  Does anyone know how to reset this.

Many thanks

Firstly welcome to TheSwamp

I dont use 2006, but in 2005 there is a variable called DBLCLKEDIT that may help you.

this variable can either be on or off. What is it currently set to?

Hope this helps you

My guess is some wayward lisp routine mangled the value of the AutoCAD system variable PICKFIRST.  It should be set to 1 (i think).

Command: PICKFIRST
Enter new value for PICKFIRST <0>: 1

Pickfirst can also be changed via the OPTIONS command > Selection tab > check "Noun/verb selection".

Glad that someone here was able to help you out.....great resource, Huh? 

Now that you got your feet wet (pun intended here), take a look around.  There's plenty to do here and a TON of great information scattered throughout the forums.  Stop by the "break the Ice" thread in News....tell us your lifes story.    If you need something and think it might be floating around here (it probably is) try the "search" option.  It's awsome what's lurking "below the surface"!!!
