Set the default double-click action (modified in an update) - HxGN SDx - HxGN SDx - Reference - Hexagon

The following applies if you are using a version of the software before Update 60. For the latest information, see Configure methods.

When you double-click an object in the Desktop Client, the default double-click action for that object occurs if a default method is defined for the class definition. For example, if the default method for a PIDRevision object is GenDetail, the software displays the Details dialog box for a P&ID instrument when you double-click it in the Desktop Client. The default double-click action only works for users who have access to the default method.

To configure double-click for a class definition using a default method,

• Class definitions must realize at least one interface.

• Interfaces must have methods associated with them.

• Methods must have the appropriate user role associated with them.

This procedure requires a drag-and-drop operation between list view windows in the Desktop Client. Edit your user preferences (File > Change User Preferences > Windows) to enable multiple, floating windows.

1. In the Desktop Client, click Find > Schema > Class Definition to search for the class definition you want to modify.

2. Right-click the class definition, and select Show Realized Interface Definitions from the shortcut menu.

3. Right-click the realized interface definition, and select Show Methods from the shortcut menu.

4. Select the method that you want to be the default method, and drag the method onto the class definition to create the default method relationship.

5. Click OK in the New Relationship dialog box to create the relationship.

6. Find an object of the class that you modified.

7. Double-click the object, and verify that the dialog box for the default method appears.
