Tool Palettes closes on ACA 2012 exit

[caddman6425nah]

Anybody else have the problem of the Tool Palette not staying docked when you shut down ACA 2012? I have to reload it every time.

Are you saving to your workspace after you "fix it"? Normally it is what you have to do when you change around screen objects.

If you answered yes, then your startup is replacing your profile/menu/workspace with a predefined one someone else decided you needed.

Post back and clarify.

OK, I bite. Never had to save workspace before, so this is new. I'll try that and get back to you. -- Nick

Here is more info. If I close current project, and fix the tool palettes and shut down ACA and then restart, the Tool Palettes will be there. Then when I start the project (BTW, I don't know if this is a problem, but the project was started in ACA 2011) and then shut down aqnd restart, the tool palette won't be there. Do I have to save the workspace on every project? If so, never had to do that before. -- Nick

FORGET IT!!!!!! Nobody knows, I guess.

I do not know about the original poster but the problem I have is that it is NOT keeping the change.  If there is some hidden 'magic' button that has been added to R2012 then let us know because this is extremely annoying.

I know this, cntl+3 starts it but I shouldn't have too

HELLOOOOO! Anyone out there?????? Why doesn't automatically saving workspace changes work in 2012, always have to push Cntrl 3 to turn it on in start up. Plz help!!!!!

I just started having this issue as well. I first thought that I could just force the setvar to force the TPSTATE variable to '1' every time AutoCAD is opened, but it tells me that it ignored it or something. Any more ideas?
