Double-click blocks in AutoCAD 2007

If you want to change the double-click behavior in AutoCAD 2007 here are some tips. When installing AutoCAD 2007 this will happen when double-clicking:

A plain block - The block editor starts (Bedit command)

Any block with attributes - The enhanced attribute editor starts (Eattedit command)

A dynamic block - The block editor starts (Bedit command)

The block editor is for editing of dynamic blocks. Right click on the block and select "Edit Block In-place" to edit plain blocks. One limitation with the block editor is that it is only for 2D.

The BLOCKEDITLOCK system variable can be set to 1 and that will result in the following behavior and the Block Editor cannot be opened:

A plain block - The properties palette opens (Properties command)

Any block with attributes - The enhanced attribute editor starts (Eattedit command)

A dynamic block - The properties palette opens (Properties command)

If the Bedit command is run when BLOCKEDITLOCK is set to 1 this message will show:
** BEDIT command not allowed. Block Editor is disabled. **

If you want to be able to double click on a plan non-dynamic block and edit it in-place use CUI and change the Double Click Actions for Block. Use ^C^CRefedit as macro. The original macro is in case you want to restore it: $M=$(if,$(and,$(>,$(getvar,blockeditlock),0)),^C^C_properties,^C^C_bedit)
This will be the result:

A plain block - The reference editor starts (Refedit command)

Any block with attributes - The enhanced attribute editor starts (Eattedit command)

A dynamic block - The properties palette opens (Properties command)
