Double click actions are used to make editing commands accessible when the cursor is positioned over an object in a drawing and a double-click is registered from a pointing device. The double click actions are object type sensitive, allowing you to set up a specific command to use for a specific object type.
Double click actions execute a command that displays either the Properties palette or a specialized editor that is more powerful, convenient, or frequently used for the object type that is double-clicked in a drawing. The following table shows the definition of the Attribute Block double click action in the CUI Editor.
Double Click Action Object Names
Double click actions are referenced by the value of the Object Name property that must match a valid drawing interchange format (DXF™) name. There are some exceptions that do not use the DXF name. These exceptions are for blocks, dynamic blocks, and external references, which use special object names. For example, the double click action named “Attribute Dynamic Block” in the acad.cui file uses the object name ATTDYNBLOCKREF.
The following table shows the object names that are specific to blocks, dynamic blocks, and external references.
The following table shows some of the object names that are set up in the acad.cui file. Expand the Double Click Actions node in the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor for a complete listing of all the actions that are defined.
