ive got cad mep 2011. when i updated from 2010 a setting changed and i cant figure out how to get it back. normally whenever you double click text, you can edit it. i cant. the only way i can edit it is to go through the properties pull out (pull over) and change the text there. i dont see anything in options or dimstyles. any ideas? thanks

You're probably gonna kick yourself when you see this, but the variable is [var]DBLCLKEDIT[/var]. Make sure that is turned ON and you should be good to go.Good Luck!!

when i put that in, it just says
enter new value for dblcklededit <on>
thanks though

Is your PICKFIRST variable set to 1?

[QUOTE=CarlB]Is your PICKFIRST variable set to 1?[/QUOTE]Nice! I forgot that affected the Double click.

pickfirst was set at 0. i changed it to 1 and now everything is good. THANKS. what the hell is pickfirst? i have never used/heard/changed before

[VAR]PICKFIRST[/VAR] controls whether you select objects before (noun-verb selection) or after you
issue a command.I don't think I've ever seen a situation where I've needed to turn pickfirst off, but for some reason the system likes turning it off by itself sometimes.Good Luck!!
