Double Click Action Object Names
 
 
 

The Object Name property of a double click action must be a valid drawing interchange format (DXF) name, or a special name for insert objects.

There are some exceptions as to when the DXF name is not used for the Object Name property of a double click action. These exceptions apply to objects that use the INSERT DXF names. For example, the double click action named “Attribute Dynamic Block” in the acad.cuix file uses the object name ATTDYNBLOCKREF. which is used for insert objects that contain attributes and dynamic actions.

The following table shows the DXF names for many of the objects commonly found in a drawing. In most cases, the DXF name and the object name are the same value with the exception of the INSERT DXF name.
