@al_ex Under what situation would the dialogs “auto-hide” ?

hi, when I stop using them? (I feel a bit silly saying this)…I am used to the properties window in AutoCAD “opening” when I click on an object / hatch / etc and need to input something in the window but when done with it and nothing is clicked, it auto hides.

OK, yes I understand now. I like that also, and remember this in AutoCAD. I thought all you had to do was touch the right border and the Properties pane would slide into view. (But I haven’t used AutoCAD for say 5 years or more.)
