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 DBLCLKEDIT. Make sure that is turned ON and you should be good to go.

Good Luck!!

PICKFIRST 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!!
