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).
