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? |

While you wait for the sea to part....
How about leaving the PROPERTIES window open all the time and get a feel for
real-time information. Then simply tap escape on your keyboard to continue.
Or try BubbleCAD for a pop-up LIST option:
http://www.bubblecad.com/
And there are plenty of other ideas for speeding up in AutoCAD:
unfortunately, just hanging on to one mouse button is not the answer. Post
back with details for more ideas and tips.

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. |

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.

ctrl+1 to toggle, plus there is no need to keep it open at full width, you
can narrow it down significantly and still have it usable.
Unless you are only running 1024x768 on 15" monitor, then you are right,
that is too big ;)

bubblecad is free, and all you have to do is 'hover', no F5 action ;)
But Periscope is so much more.

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 ;-)
