By default a double click on a attribute opens the "enhanced" function. I don't want this, I want the "normal" attribute editor, is there a variable to change ? Or another way ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe've just started using an attribute in a dynamic block and I'm curious if there is a faster way to edit the text, like how you just click outside the dtext or mtext editor to save and exit. the editor.
We only need to edit the value field, not any of the other attritubes. I really like how the dynamic block is saving us some time, but the outdated editor is really irritating, and it's not always convenient to hit Tab then Enter on the keyboard.
Is there perhaps an alternate editor, or a way I can edit the value text in the mtext editor by default rather than opening up the Enhanced Attribute Editor?

Just upgraded (not sure it was truely an upgrade) to LT 2013. When double-clicking an attribute in LT 2009 a nice dialog box popped up that could be tabbed through to each attribute. In 2013 the Enhanced Attribute Dialog box will not allow tabbing, you have to physically click on each attribute item then go to another spot in the box and click again to make the change.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen in the attribute editor, after you edit an attribute then click "select blocks", to choose a new block to edit, an alert appears telling you that an attribute in the block has changes and asks if you want to save these changes. I ALWAYS want to save these changes...

I was given a customers title block but there are no defined attributes. I'm using AutoCad Electrical 2010. I have to double click on the title block and the edit block definition box pops up. I select the block to edit and click ok. I would like to use the enhanced attribute editor on these title blocks. Is there a way to define the attributes on this kind of title block using the enhanced attribute editor?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIf you right-click an image and click "Edit" in Windows, this opens the image in MS Paint. And you can't change this. Or that's what I thought; here's how to change that to Paint.NET!
Warning: This post probably looks really suspicious since this is my first post. What the heck. Anyways, I know diddly squat about the Registry. Some tweak sites for XP mentioned this tweak (stating this key would be found at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ SystemFileAssociations \ image \ shell \ edit \ command). That exact key didn't exist. So, I searched the Registry for "SystemFileAssociations" and found the key I wrote below (in HKLM). I then took a huge risk and tried the hack. It worked, but I may have inadvertently told Windows to delete C:\Windows upon reboot.
All right, so if you right-click an image in Windows XP, Vista, or 7, there is an option in the context menu called "edit". This defaults to MS Paint and I thought that was impossible to change. Until I did some Google'ing (see Warning above). Go to this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command
First, back up your registry (System Restore or regedit.exe -> File -> Export). Again, anything you do now is completely your responsibility. Then, right-click the only key in there, click Modify, and replace the path with your PaintDotNet.exe path (obviously include \PaintDotNet.exe). Don't change the quotes or the %1. Just delete MS Paint's path and insert PaintDotNet.exe's path.
How can I change my Editor default back to Elements 8? When I downloaded a trial version of Elements 11, my default changed to version 11. I use Adobe Lightroom, and when I switch over to Elements using "Edit In", it automatically open Elements 11 now.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOk so I have x3 and recently installed the trial for x5, since the trial ran out i removed it and carried on as before, this however has left a few things buggy, the first was file assocation which was easier to fix, the other biggie is that I seem unable to edit any bitmaps using the usual method. How do I re-enable the bitmap editing? and if i have the choice I'd rather it opened photoshop to edit the file opposed to corel paint if this is at all possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat I really want to do is on our fire alarm blocks we have 3 different attributes one for the address, the candela and one for misc info. I want to make an attribute that takes the number from the candela (15,30,75or 110) and change a different attribute to a value depending on which candela we use (such as 15=.078, 30=.113, 75=.195 or 110=.259). But I don't want the .078,.113,.195,.259 to print out on paper, I want to export block information excel file so I can add up all values.

Is there a way to have attributes automatically update? For example, we often "save block as" from block editor to create a new block. We usually have block name on defpoints layer so designers can see block name on screen.
We now have to edit this text each time new block is created from existing block. If default value of attribute could be the block name it would save time and errors.

The panit effects viewport flickers several times per second while sliding the stoke or brush parameters in the attribute editor. It blink once when holding down the Alt button or press the "redraw panit effects view" button in the view port.

Autocad 2011, Electrical package,
I have an existing title block a few text attributes, to which I wish to add a watermark. I have added it in the block editor as a normal attribute, with the same details as the other attributes that work, only a different tag name. It has a default value, "DRAFT" and is tagged "WMARK". It works fine in the Block Editor, and If I test the block I can edit it to display whatever I want, but if I save the block and open it from Autocad proper, the attribute is not in existence, either as a default value, or editable from block properties, attribute editor or title block editor, whereas all of the other attributes are there. I have used BattMan to verify the settings of the attribute, and the only difference is that the others all have "L" in the "Modes" column, but I think that means that their position is "locked" whereas my new attribute is justified "aligned" therefore cannot be "locked" (This is some assumption on my part, as the documentation on the "Modes" column is almost non-existent). I cannot afford to waste much more time on this issue, as the boss is breathing down my neck, but editing watermarks on every drawing after every revision is frustrating, when it could be an attribute that is editable from the title block editor.
PSE 9 linked perfectly with LR but PSE 10 is not. When i go to define external editor in LR4 (version 4.1), it lists Photoshop in the top section but I cannot select it as my external editor when I use "Edit In". It also doesn't link when I select PSE as the "additional" external editor. But I'd prefer it worked as the default because I want to use Topaz as my "additional" external editor.
I am only allowed to choose an additional external editior, not the default external editor. I have looked all over for a way to re-point LR4 to PSE 10.
where I can change what my default photo editor to what I want. Each time I plug anything that MIGHT have a photo on it activates LR3 causing me to wait until it fully launches and then I have to cancel the import process and then go to file and exit.
My LR3 window is a little two large for the screen and I can't see the red X or the min. button or any other options. I also can't see/find the tools that should show up on the left side of the window. The screen resolution is set an the recommended for my computer and all other programs, but I guess I haven't tried to change it to resolve this issue.
I am trying to change a text in attribute using vb.net.
I am using the following sub to update my attribute, if I use the message box I get correct information about the block, the attribute.tag I want to change and the text. The changes to my attribute are not saved.
Sub UpdateAttributeValue(ByVal BlockID AsObjectId, ByVal AttributeTag AsString, ByVal TextaStr AsString)
Using myTrans AsTransaction = BlockID.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction
Dim myBRef AsBlockReference = BlockID.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead)

How to access the BTR, read and write BRef, attDef, AttRef etc. But this has me stumped. There are a few different examples but can’t find anything that works and don't know why.
I have inserted a block in modelspace, I have the BlockRefID and now want to change its attribute values. This finds the attributes tags but doesn’t write the sValue. Why it isn’t writing the value to the block.
Public Sub ChangeAttributeValue(ByVal BlockRefID As ObjectId, ByVal sTagName As String, ByVal sValue As String)
Dim doc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
Dim db As Database = doc.Database
Dim tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
Dim br As BlockReference = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(BlockRefID, OpenMode.ForWrite), BlockReference)
