Thanks. I created a copy of the default C3D workspace, to experiment with, and I added the Properties panel to the copy just fine. Now the Properties panel shows up in both workspaces, the original default C3D workspace and my copy. Oh well. I'm really trying to convert, I really am. Thanks for the help. Got it. Thanks.

It appears that the keyboard shortcut for Properties (aka keytip) is PR. You could roll your own. It appears that the keyboard shortcut for Properties (aka keytip) is PR.

It is available in the Home tab in the 2D Drafting workspace, but for some reason I can't add it to any other workspace....because I can't find it listed under Panel anywhere in the CUI.

I see many making this adjustment to their Ribbon. I've had this same request by a few of my clients as well. However, they preferred to continue using the docked Layers toolbar in conjunction with the Ribbon. (they're OK with a little less screen real estate) The only advantage I see with the layer toolbar over the layer panel is that the toolbar doesn't auto-adjust the width as you scroll down through the layers. If all your layers names are the same width you won't see this problem. But it is very annoying if you have some longer layer names in the mix. Good post Kevin.
