CUSTOMIZING MOUSE BUTTONS & DOUBLE-CLICKS<br />

The actions of mouse buttons are customized in BricsCAD by the Mouse tab, as are double-click<br />

actions, as shown by the figure below:<br />

Customizing mouse button actions<br />

To have the click of a mouse button display a menu to the user, you employ the same macro construction<br />

as in AutoCAD. See the code highlighted in the figure below:<br />

Editing actions for mouse buttons<br />

Double-Click Actions<br />

Double-click actions in BricsCAD are also customized with the Mouse tab. Double-click actions<br />

are customized in BricsCAD in the Mouse tab of the Customize dialog box. Go down to<br />

the Double-click actions section, and then edit the Command field.<br />

In general, double-clicking an entity causes the Properties pane to appear, but this can be<br />

changed; indeed, Bricsys has assigned a number of other commands to the double-clicking<br />

of specific entities. Double-clicking a hatch pattern, for example, executes the HatchEdit command.<br />

The lists of double-clickable entities is nearly identical for BricsCAD and AutoCAD. Now, some<br />

AutoCAD entities are not native to BricsCAD. As in AutoCAD, you can add and remove doubleclick<br />

actions to and from BricsCAD. To do so, right-click an existing action and then choose an<br />

option from the context menu. Inserting a double-click action takes the same steps as adding<br />

a menu item; see “Creating a New Menu Item” earlier in this chapter.<br />
