Double Click Editing

[Bill Lape]

Several of the engineers in my company use AutoCAD 2000, which lacks the
double click property change feature. Does anyone know of a lisp routine
that approximates this feature?

Bill,

Here is one that will emulate 2000i - double click ability...

If you have just AutoCAD 2000 you might try installing the version of
Express Tools off of the CD that comes with it. There is a dcprops command
that gives you this functionality. However, I don't know if this comes with
the version of ET that came with Acad2000.

I could not find the dcprops command in the express tools version that came
with AutoCAD 2000. It also wasn't listed in the current version on the
Autodesk website.

I know it's there in the "full" version. I don't know why it's not listed
on their website.

Here is the DCPROPS info from the ET help file:

DCPROPS

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

Configures double-clicking to open the Properties dialog box

Command: DCPROPS
Enter mode [ON/OFF] : Enter ON or OFF

Use the DCPROPS command to turn DCPROPS mode on or off. When DCPROPS mode is
on, double clicking an object opens the Properties dialog, which contains
property data for the selected object.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Express menu: Tools Double-click Properties
Command line: DCPROPS

Here's a similar solution to Luis. Sorry I'm a little late in responding ! ! !

I called the lisp program: dc-edit.lsp.

Use appload to add it to your Startup Suite and away you go.

I have been using it for years and I'm still using it now July 2018 ! ! !
