Identification symbol. Wrong field selected.

(OP)
Hello,

It's not a big problem i have but it's irritating me very much.
When i place a identification symbol and the "identification symbol menu" opens then is always the field "Stub Length" selected instead of "Text" field to fill in the identification number. So i always have to click first in the Text field.
And who want to change the Stub Length every time.
So is there a way to make the Text field always selected when the "identification symbol menu" opens?

Thanks you already.

RE: Identification symbol. Wrong field selected.

Do you have the Save Dialog Box Settings between Settings checked in customer defaults? Try uncheck it.

Best regards,

Michaël.

Thanks, that works.
But this setting also effects other Dialog Boxes i think, so i have to find out if that's ok or not.

Please leave the Customer Default 'Dialog Memory' option toggled ON or what I'm telling you to do below will be worthless.

The next time you use this dialog, if you are not making any changes to the Leader, simply close the 'Leader' section of the dialog and finish creating the symbol. Now when you open this dialog again, the focus will be in the text entry field.

Thank you John,
I already discovered that toggled OFF the "Save Dialog Box Settings between Settings" effects all other dialog boxes. Most of the times in a negative way.
It's toggled ON now again and closed the "Leader section". It's working good now!
