To auto-hide the Properties palette in AutoCAD, click the (Auto-hide) icon on the title bar of the Properties palette.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
When the Auto-hide feature is enabled:
- The Properties palette will retract to a thin bar when the cursor is moved away from it.
- To temporarily display the Properties palette, simply hover your mouse cursor over the title bar where it's retracted.
- The palette will reappear, allowing you to make adjustments.
- Moving the cursor away from the palette again will cause it to retract automatically.
To disable the Auto-hide feature and keep the Properties palette visible at all times:
- Click the (Auto-hide) icon on the title bar again. This toggles the Auto-hide functionality off.
In summary, the auto-hide feature provides a convenient way to manage screen space in AutoCAD by automatically hiding the Properties palette when it's not actively in use, and easily bringing it back into view when needed.
