Since the release of AutoCAD 2002, double-clicking either MTEXT or DTEXT would automatically open the text editor. This elevated the old "DDEDIT" or "ED" command to edit text.
Sometimes, this option stops working. If this does occur, check the system variable DBLCLKEDIT. This should be set to ON.
THANK YOU A LOT!!!

Double click edit doesn't work. I'm using Autocad 2007, PICKFIRST is set to (1) and DBLCLKEDIT is (ON). When I double click on anything I only get the Properties window opens. I have Autocad 2006 on another computer and double click edit works fine. Any suggestions as to how I can get it to work on Autocad 2007?

Also, make sure PICKFIRST is set to 1. I've seen the double-click editing behavior fail because of this variable as well.
