Little did you know, you\u2019ve been using palettes all along. They are what contains the browser, getting started panel, text commands, rendering gallery, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Palettes are very distinct from command dialogs in several ways:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">palettes are not associated with a command and do not have the same lifetime rules that a command has. A palette can be displayed while the user runs commands and interacts with Fusion 360. \u00a0A palette is not even associated with a particular document. \u00a0When a palette is displayed it will remain displayed for the entire session unless you close it.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The content of a palette is not defined in the same way as a command. Instead of displaying a predefined set of command inputs like a command dialog does, the content of a palette is an HTML file. This means you can display anything in a palette in any way that you want, as long as you can define it using HTML.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your add-in and the HTML\/JavaScript code of the palette are able to communicate with each other via events. \u00a0You\u2019re add-in can call a method which results in a JavaScript event being fired that the JavaScript code associated with the HTML can handle and respond to. The JavaScript associated with the HTML can also call a method that results in an event being fired to your add-in so it can react to changes in the palette.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like a command dialog, palettes can be docked to edges of the Fusion window and to other palettes. Unlike a command dialog, you have full control over this with a palette. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As always, Brian Ekins does a great job documenting <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/help.autodesk.com\/view\/fusion360\/ENU\/?guid=GUID-36B1FFB5-5291-4532-8F11-90E912769B34\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what\u2019s new with API<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for each update over on our learning site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Other fixes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of you reported that you weren\u2019t able to open Fusion 360 on Mac OSX 10.10.
