Revit 2013 double click to edit family

[nigeld]

Revit 2013 double click to edit family. A new feature that I don't particularly like. Can anyone instruct me how to disable it ?
Thanks.

Don't double click on any families
Can't be disabled as far as I know.

I'm with you on that one. Particularly frustrating on titleblocks when inputting sheet names directly. More often than not you end up opening the titleblock family.

Thanks, but not what I wanted to hear. Yes, for me too it was the unwanted opening of titleblock families when just tring to update a simple parameter that is causing havoc.

Likewise. Pretty annoying...

Official reponse from autodesk when I asked them how to disable this:
"Thank you for contacting Autodesk Product Support with your case. As of now you will not be able to disable this feature. This I could log this with the development as this could be a good feature to incorporate. "
Well done autodesk on another poorly implemented "new feature".

I think I had the same reaction a couple of weeks ago, on the 'What's new with 2013' thread. Nice to see that I'm not in the minority.

AutoDesk,
Please have this double click to edit families as an option, default setting as off, in future releases.
Thank you,

This is a featured I've wanted for a while. What else would you expect double-clicking a family to do? If you expect nothing to happen then why double-click?

I personally would want it to open the family's 'Type Properties'. Nothing more nothing less.

YES! Double-click to open Type Properties would be massively useful. Was this not discussed during the Beta Testing? I participated in it a little bit but was really unable to go in-depth too much.

I just see it as making it way too easy to accidentally get into the family editor, when I don't really want most users in the family editor.
