Hello Dear NanoCAD specialists!

Please tell me how to force launch NanoCAD without the "Tool Palettes Manager" open (*Nanocad was closed with the "Tool Palettes Manager" open.)?

/no - not work

Hi Olga, may you share a screenshot?

It’s just that when the Tools are located on the organization’s server and there are problems with the network, you need to close the palette before closing the program.

And if the user does NOT close "Tool Palettes Manager", then the next launch of the program “hangs”.
I would like to disable the open "Tool Palettes Manager" before starting the program.

Hi Olga,
this is a kind of operations which require some techincal skills, because you have to modify a Windows System Registry Key.

I did attached an image with the complete Path of the Registry Key to delete before open nanoCAD.

Be careful, a wrong modification of Windows Registry can cause big problems to the operating system.

Thank you,
but nanoCAD 24 does not have this parameter?

I've no idea, here in EU, last know release is the 23.
On the registry key path, which i posted, there is the release number(23.0), maybe you have to change it to 24.0

Thank you very much for your help!
I'll look for 24.

You are welcome.

Oh. the same approach - the same registry key.

I delete the registry branch like this (with the program closed):
