• Allow docking - allows/prevents toolbar from docking with other AutoCAD toolbars
• Hide - closes the toolbar, re-show it by entering the BXINDWG command again
• Auto-refresh - automatically updates block icons when inserted via BlockWerx or AutoCAD's INSERT command
• Insert Presets... - displays the 'Blocks in Drawing Presets' dialog below
