Any way to overcome this, ie without having to type that T option? I know it's a minor thing, but if it can be fixed, great! Thanks.

    I've made a keyboard shortcut for the Ribbon command (set to Ctrl+R), that way I can toggle it on/off quickly before creating / editing hatches.

    Edit: Here's the macro code:
    Code:
    ^P^C^C(command (if (= (getvar 'RibbonState) 0) "._RIBBON" "._RIBBONCLOSE"))

    Actually, it seems that doesn't need to be done. The HPDLGMODE in 2012 seems to sort out this issue, just set it to 1 instead of the default 2.

    Glad to help, though I only found out about that setting because of this thread

    It's a much better solution than my previous way of toggling the Ribbon on/off! Now if only I could get at a setting to display the bedit palette & toolbar instead of the ribbon panel in bedit mode (just because I like it better) ... probably need to learn how to use the ribbon panel instead (though I hate it when the wrong panel is displayed when you need it)!

    In the same vein, when editing mtext with the ribbon on, the text formatting toolbar does not show up unless MTEXTTOOLBAR is set to 1 (default is 2).
