Direct editing of attribute?

In AutoCAD I could CTRL+Doubleclick an attribute of a block and edit it directly. In BricsCAD it always opens the dialogue box for changing a value of an attribute.

Is it possible to edit attributes directly in BricsCAD?

  • It can be done with lisp using Nentsel which selects the attribute but then you would have to do say a custom dcl for the new value etc.

    Copy and paste this to command line as a example

    (setq txt (cdr (assoc 1 (entget (car (nentsel "\nPick the attribute "))))))

  • If you select the block all the attributes show up in the properties panel.
    You can change the values from there.

  • Two more things you can use in BricsCAD to edit attributes:

    • Rollover tips - turn on Value property for Attribute in the Customize dialog/Properties, so when you hover attribute and press Ctrl, RT with editable value field appears

    • ATTIPEDIT command to edit attributes in-place exists in BricsCAD, but it doesn't have a shorcut, you can assign some keyboard combination for it via Customize/Keyboard (this command is not present within availiable tools, so you have to create a new tool for it).
