The ToggleActiveToolpalettes in Rhino7 has become completely useless. Have read other topics on this and I have to agree that in Rhino Version 5 and 6 this command worked perfectly together with the ScreenEdges setting for your mouse pointer. In this way you could re-show an “active” tool palette o…

Hi @Eckhardt - We have done a bit more work. Please try these steps: Download this new Rhino “build-of-the-day” . After opening the dmg, when you see the screen with the Rhino and the Applications icon, drag it to your Desktop instead. (Since this is not an official release of Rhino, I’d discoura…

[image] Eckhardt: So please test and compare in R6 & R7 these settings, commands, combinations and behaviour. Yeah… Philip

Please have patience with me. Let me try asking this again… With regard to ToggleActiveToolPalettes, does this video :point_down: show the expected/desired behavior?

Logged RH-65131 Preferences > Tool Palettes > Hide tool palettes when starting commands: should exclude some commands.

Hi @Philip and @Eckhardt Can you please do a little testing for us? Try this Download this Rhino “build-of-the-day” . After opening the dmg, when you see the screen with the Rhino and the Applications icon, drag it to your Desktop instead. (Since this is not an official release of Rhino, I’d disc…

[image] dan: comment here in RH-57945 Hi Dan, Wow !! great work and this is almost what we had. The main ( sequence ) behaviour as we described before is exactly what you build in this trial version, with one exception were the active tool palette still pops-up unwanted. I try to describe…
