As with all palettes in AutoCAD, you can leave the Layer Properties Manager
open while you do other things in the drawing — unlike the dialog box method of stop-
ping what you're doing, opening the dialog box, making adjustments, closing the dialog
box, and then resuming what you were doing. Also like other palettes, the Layer Proper-
ties Manager can be set to auto-hide itself to its title bar, to be either floating or docked,
or to be anchored (do you get the sense that there are some AutoCAD programmers
who'd rather be sailing?) to either side of the screen.
