I hope this has been somehow helpful even if I completely misunderstand your situation. With AutoCAD 2015, direct editing was enabled for groups, shapes. Does your dialog need them to have that much flexibility? Is it prepared to handle itself properly in all those situations? Bear in mind that while a modeless PaletteSet is active the user can do literally anything else - open other drawings, draw entities, xref other drawings, run other commands, etc. If the reason you're using a PaletteSet is because the user has to interact with the drawing while it's active, there are ways to make a modal dialog get out of the way and allow them to pick entities or whatever it needs. I wonder if what you really want to use here is a simple modal Form, launched from whatever mechanism currently launches your PaletteSet, that the user has to dismiss with an OK button, and then you would do your "wipe" in the OK handler. I guess the question I would encourage you to ask is "is the PaletteSet the right tool for the job I'm doing?" I'm only taking a guess at the job and work flow from your description and screen shot, but what I'm guessing concerns me. Will that also cause problems down the road? Have you asked yourself - what happens if the user never closes the dialog? With the PaletteSet they have that option. Your question suggests that you want the user to perform a modal operation (command - show dialog - do stuff with dialog - close dialog) but you're using a modeless (potentially always on) GUI element (the PaletteSet). I'm worried that you're going about this in a. I'll try to be as gentle as I can but I'm not known among those who know me for my gentleness.

Yes that's right, Tooltip controls the size of the fonts on your Tool Palette - go figure! After you've set it to the desired size select OK and check it out in AutoCAD. Drop the Item list down as seen in the picture below and select Tooltip from the list. You can also drag tools directly on the palette. Only one tool palettes set can be active during an AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset session, although you can specify different tool palettes for different user profiles. For example, you could create one tool palette set for imperial tools and another for metric tools. Go to the Appearance tab and select the Advanced button.
