Tip for Week 8/16/10
 
The Quick Properties pop-up palette is a great new feature, but sometimes
the number of properties available for an object is more than the default
three lines. We'll show you how to have the palette expand to all available
choices without having to go through the delay or the extra step.

When a simple object is highlighted, without a command active, and the
Quick Properties pop-up toggle is on, there are typically only 3 lines of
properties showing.

When a complex object is highlighted, without a command active, and the
Quick Properties pop-up toggle is on, there are typically more than 3 lines
of properties available to show. You need to wait about one second or
click on the expand arrow at the bottom of the light blue title strip to expand.

To keep the palette expanded regardless of what entity you choose,
just right-click on either of the gray bars and select the
"Auto-Collapse" listing that is checked to un-check.
The palette will now open fully expanded every time.
