Title: Suggest for palettes dialog (Floating Option ?)
Post by: stephan_35 on June 16, 2009, 02:25:57 AM
Hello,

Would it be possible to establish an option for the pallets to determine whether they should appear in the middle of the screen or not (Floating Option, which is enable in autocad).

Indeed, to date, from the display order send, they are placed by default row to the left or right depending on the storage options defined.

Best regards

Thanks

This is managed by AutoCAD in the user's workspace settings I think, so I'm not sure it's possible. You can submit a feature request for it.

That's true, in workspace setting we can select if the pallet is dockable or no !

But, when we open a new autocad pallet , it never be already dockabled, appear in middle of sreen ....

Thanks.

Hi there,
I have been wondering the same. interestingly one of my palette starts floating and the other does not..
Finally I figured out that if you close the drawing while the palette is still open palettes floating state and position is kept in mind ;)
so next time you run your lisp, palette appears floating. isn't it nice ;D

Hi blasto,

thanks for this interesting hint. I will try that. I'm wondering where it is written, when it will be saved during closing a drawing. Will it only be kept for the drawing or for all drawings?

Fred

Look in e.g.:
%AppData%\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2010\R18.0\enu\Support\Profiles\<YourProfile>.aws

I don't remember which file it is saved in, but a search for the previous discussions about this should turn up exactly where the settings are stored. I would experiment with saving your workspace to see if that saves the current settings.
