Changing Double-Click Behavior to Change Attribute Edit

Sorry for the long absence. I was just helping wrap up to large projects (hint, hint) that are finally done! News about those next week.

Some of you miss the old (pre-2007) double-click behavior whereas you got a full dialogue of attributes when you double-clicked on a block. AutoCAD changed this some time ago, but with V50/50 and the CUI file, it is very easy to bring back.

1. Type in CUI

2. Pick Partial CUI Files, ACAD, Double Click Actions and then pick Attribute Block, Edit Attribute

3. Erase the first 'e' from _eattedit to make it _attedit under the Macro entry and pick OK

Doubleclik

That will do it. Notice you can alter double click behavior for any type of AutoCAD entity. We do this ourselves for one of our HydraCAD entities, the HydraPipe in our own section of the menu.
