Double Click Action Object Name Property Reference

The Object Name property of a double click action must be a valid drawing interchange format (DXF ^™ ) name or one of the special names.

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 normally use the INSERT DXF name. For example, the double click action that works with dynamic blocks that contains one or more attributes uses the object name ATTDYNBLOCKREF.

The following table shows the DXF and object name for many of the objects commonly found in a drawing.
