Run JTBWPaletteAutoHideSpeed and then close AutoCAD.

Make changes to the settings, click OK. Start AutoCAD to see the effect on palettes that are set to Auto-hide.

Roll-up speed is the time it takes to show the palette.

Roll-out is the time it takes to hide the palette.

The “holdopen” delay is an additional delay that keeps the palette open for a specified time when it is opened programmatically; if the mouse does not move over it at this time it automatically rolls back up.

If you have older versions or if AutoCAD LT is used you need to manually run the app that is installed in "%appdata%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\JTBW-PaletteAutoHideSpeed.bundle\Contents\Windows\PaletteAutoHideSpeed.exe". Example: "C:\Users\jtb\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\JTBW-PaletteAutoHideSpeed.bundle\Contents\Windows\PaletteAutoHideSpeed.exe"

The installer that ran when you downloaded this app from Autodesk App Store will start installing the app. Or, double-click the downloaded installer to install the app. You may need to restart the Autodesk product to be able to run the app.

To uninstall this app, exit the Autodesk product if you are currently running it.

On Windows 11 and 10 version 1703 or later press Windows+I on the keyboard to access Settings or click or right-click the Windows Start button and then select Settings. Click on Apps (optionally followed by Apps & features). On older Window versions click Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features or Control Panel > Add.

Some have reported that AutoCAD 2011 and 2012 might have a problem accepting some of the settings.

CADWorx users might not get this app working due to CADWorx overriding these settings.
