Instead of typing PEDIT just double-click a Polyline to edit it

Ok, Works in 2007, but not 2006 (or earlier I suppose).

Good to know. Maybe that should be posted in the ABS Tips and Tricks.

This would be even better if AutoCad could be set to automatically
go into a pedit if the user double clicks on any line in the drawing.

The pedit command is also used to turn objects into a polyline.

Can this be done?

I posted some code in a similar thread for dc'ing a dim. You could modify that.

I wasn't thinking last week.
Go into the CUI and change the double click option
for a line from properties to pedit.

Just a quick something to add...

Be sure your DBLCLKEDIT variable is set to <ON>

I had my lines and polylines set up in Vanilla 2008 with the following double-click action:

^C^C_pedit;j;

So that when I double clicked either a line or a polyline I would automatically be prompted to select other lines to join it to. This worked fine in AutoCAD 2008, but when I try to use it in 2009 it only works for lines. When I double click a polyline it brings up the PEDIT options, but does not automatically choose join. Does anybody know why this would be? I have PEDITACCEPT set to 1.

I have set up 2 double click actions.

The first one is setting the line DC command to be Pedit, yes (to accept the 'turn into polyline 'prompt)
and the second one executes the Pedit, Join, All command

this means you can double click a line to turn it into a polyline, then doule click again and it joins all other lines connected to it.

If you set PEDITACCEPT to 1 it suppresses "turn into polyline" request and you can use the same command for both, or at least, it worked that way in 2008.

It works for me.
I noticed that applying the macro to Line and then editing it applied the same edit to the Polyline and Lwpolyline macros.
