I was looking for the POPSET in the Ribbon. The Ribbon Search gives you nothing. It is suppoesed to be in [Drawing]Primary
As you know the Toolsettings Box is ALWAYS needed - for all but a few functiions. Docking it is not only wasting screen real estate but also is annoying for the different sizes of different ToolSettings. Moving it around all the time when it is in the way is causing all Kinds of issues as you know. And x-ing it away is not really recommendable as I learned ever since It Needs to Pop up again all the time.
That is why I NEED the "dissappearing" behaviour when closeing in on the Toolsettings Dialog.
So where is my POPSET? I found it - through help - in the toolboxes. I need to dock it somewhere. That works.
But why is it not added to the Ribbon menue? I assume the changing Icon behaviour (green bubble/red bubble slashed) does not work on the Ribbon (?)
I tried and added it to the Ribbon. But that leaves a static green bubble where you can not see the Status as with the Toolbox.

Hi Gerd,
just for curiosity: Where you would like to add Popset icon to? Drawing workflow > Home tab > what group ?
Not sure whether it makes sense PopSet should be available always or on some quick path (e.g. space popup) as it's probably not accessed too often. But I agree to have icon notification about PopSet status is important.
With regards,

"it's probably not accessed too often."
What makes you say that? I access it a lot.
Ah, I tend to turn it on and never touch it thereafter.
workaround would be a sign the key-in POPSET TOGGLE to an f key, or create a new tool from that. But yes, I agree that it should just work.

I added it to the quick start bar but it works as your try with the Ribbon: a static green bubble.
Thanks for your input guys.
My point is - like Bear said - it is taken from the standard and you have to dig for it. You either like it or not but I noticed that people are not even aware that there is such a function and move the Toolsettings around all the time. And as I describe in the initial post the Toolsettings Dialog handling would be nice to to get an overhaul. Any ideas?
This is the best! Simple and effective! Thank you very much!
I have recently seen a explanatory video by Bentley, where the guy was clicking away the "Toolssettings" dialog all the time as it was always in the way... Popset off is of great help especially when you have little real estate (screen space)
