double-click for text edit

[Maverick91]

I just installed ACAD '11. When I double-click on text or dimensions, I get the properties box. I want the text editor. How do I make this change? TIA

Go into your CUI and look under "Double Click Actions". Create a new action and give it a name and add the Object name you want to edit.

Example: for dimensions you'll put DIMENSION.

Then drag the DDEDIT command from the command list pane to your newly created action.

Thanks, Glenn. I've got that partially working. It works on text and mtext, but double-clicking still doesn't work on dimensions.

Do you have the action placed in the main CUI? Mine is placed in the c3d.cuix.

In my case when I double click it change FONT to default and somehow I didn't have that font loaded, you can check this if you change text to mtext (TXT2MTXT), there's a "preview", on the ribbon, that it won't show, because you are missing that font, the way you can fix it is going to options (OP), add the path where your fonts are store, this is on the tab "files", and "Support File Search Path", press "Add" button, and press button "Browse" to add that path, or simply change the font on that specific "Font style" type the command "Style" and change it, hope it helps....
