| 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!! ------------- -- R. Williams AutoCAD 2010 Certified Professional <!-- If all else fails hit F1 --> <<AutoCAD 2009 |

[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!! ------------- -- R. Williams AutoCAD 2010 Certified Professional <!-- If all else fails hit F1 --> <<AutoCAD 2009 |
