double click

I would like to know how I can modify the commands that run when you double
click on an object....... Instead of eattedit running when I double click on
a block with attributes I would like to run attedit. Any ideas?

 

What happens when you type ED as a command alias?

You need to use your hand instead of the mouse. I can see a need to amend
what comes up when you double click an object. Sometimes you just want to
know what the name of a block is and when you double click it, instead of
opening the properties box, you get the attedit box. Now you have to escape
and type CH and select the block. Your upset because this marvelous
customizing system AutoDesk has created is still not quite perfect.
Will AutoDesk now give us this option?

 

check out periscope from manusoft.com

i especially like the "peek" option. i park my cursor over an object, hit
F5 (i customized F5 to run "peek") and periscope will list all of the
object's pertinent data in a balloon window.

sweet.

 

<<Will AutoDesk now give us this option? >>

dunno, you'll have to ask them.

 

How about leaving the PROPERTIES window open all the time and get a feel
for

continue.

Takes up too much space on the Monitor, unless you're running Two Monitors.
Truthfully, I use "CH" to open properties and I've modified a pulldown menu
to Close Properties. Two key strokes and I have My information.

 

right click on the little box in the lower left corner and select "autohide"
and the Properties box will become a thin blue band when not in use. I don't
even notice mine until it opens itself when I need it.

Again, not when your running ACAD 2k2. the autohide feature for Properties
and Design Center is for 2k4 and 2k5.

 

Ctrl+1 is quick as can be. Toggle it on, toggle it off.

 

no way for me to know that...you didn't indicate which Acad version you were
using...People still actually use A2K2?

Does bubblecad support LDT and ADT objects? I remember trying it once and
found it lacking, maybe that was it?

Periscope does that "hover" thing too, but i turn it off. Peeking suits me
better ;-)

 

Google up MouseImp. I used it for a couple of versions until a'desk built in
the auto feature.

And R14 and are still content, thank you very much!!! Plus with a very recent addition of "DWGgateway", I am like a pig in wallow. And my co-worker Amy agrees! At least with the pig part. She loves me. ;o)

We are getting ready to upgrade to ACAD 2k4. Been waiting for the (not so
computer literate) Senior Architect to accept the change.
Also, Some Jurisdictions, IE...Military, State of Calfironia Education
department...will not accept any submittal drawing in versions other than
R14 and Earlier. As a result of their inability to change, we still have
some computers with R14 so we can make little corrections without having to
export the file down to R14.

 

Hi Mike,

That means that you are currently on 2002 I presume with R14 still on board. That is also what we have here and we have our "save As" set to R14 which make it seamless to open from R14, 2000, 2000i or 2002. NEVER any need to SAVE DOWN to R14, it's automatic!

However, when upgrade to 2004, that will no longer be the case. But you can set the 2004 to save as 2000 format, open and save once there and still have the R14 capibility. Figured I'd cross that bridge when we came to it.

But I was just looking at some of the 2006 previews and like most of what I see. So maybe we'll end up all the way to the top. We'll see!

 

Hi Tracy,

I was just looking at and reading your BLOG and Lynn Allen's and others on 2006. I hope 2006 REALLY is as good as you and others seem to think.

When 2004 and 2005 came out, I wasn't terribly impressed and recommended against upgrading. But 2006 sounds really nice and I will be looking at it as soon as I can and continue to read what you and others have to say.

P.S. What does the acronym BLOG stand for?

 

BLOG came from the words weB LOG, so it is not an acronym.

 

Thanx ken,

weB LOG huh? Thanx!

Oh yeah because there is only one B used from web, it does not qualify as an acronym, but that's a technical point, right. Acronym works for me anyway. FOMOCO, Desilu and Radio are true acronyms, but FBI, CIA and the like are not, yet people refer to them as such all the time.

Just always remember, racecar spelled backwards is racecar

 

Now you have my curiosity up. If "radio" is an acronym, what does it stand for? Or did you mean "radar" (radio detection and ranging). And why are FBI and CIA not acronyms?
