Editing Attributes

(OP)
While at a contracting company, I was using AutoCAD 2002 and there was a setting refering to blocks I can not remember. When you double-click on a attribue in a block block, the enhanced dialog box would appear and the attribute you clicked on would be the first one you could edit, instead of starting at the top of the attribute list. A real time saver when you have 60+ attributes in a single block. Anyone know the setting? Much appreciated.

RE: Editing Attributes

The variable you're looking for is ...
DBLCLKEDIT
<ON>

Hope that helps...

RE: Editing Attributes

(OP)
Actually, that is the setting which allows you to edit by double clicking on something (block or text) I was looking for the setting that controlled whether or not you jumped to the attribute you clicked on, rather than starting at the top of the list.
I do believe that this is not a setting, but a property of the new blocking/attribute structure in 2002. Any blocks I have created in 2002 have this feature, but those created in 2000 do not. Go figure!
Thanks for your help anyway!
