I just upgraded from SurvCad2006 to Civil/Survey2007. The one big thing I
noticed is editing of text and blocks. In 2006, I could double click on a
block and it would go straight to the attribute editor, but in 2007 it goes
to the properties flyout, same with mtext it brings up the properties flyout
and I have to edit from there. Is there a toggle somewhere I haven't seen?
Was that taken out in the new release? If it was taken out , please put it
back

What AutoCAD version are you using? In 2007, you can configure
double-click actions.

Re: Double Click Edit help
There are no double-click actions listed in your cui file. Did you migrate
this from a 2006 installation?

Regardless, open the CUI editor, select the Transfer tab. On the right
pane,
open Acad.cui (located either in your Support folder, or the hidden
UserDataCache folder in AutoCAD's program folder).

Expand the Double Click Actions node on the right pane, select all the
individual elements, and drag-and-drop them on
