Dock Hide/unhide when connected to ACD

[The Reason]

So I just recently acquired an ACD, and am loving the extra screen real estate, so much that for the first time, am showing the dock while connected to it... but I would still like it hidden when I un-hook and head out on the road... Is there any setting that does this automatically? Or am I stuck changing the settings every time I leave my desk and come back?
TIA

MarcoPolo can probably do this... it uses various evidence sources to choose a profile and can change settings and run scripts based on the profile. I use it to change my network settings and default printer.

That said, I would just opt for hitting Command-Option-D to show or hide the Dock.

Are you running your MBP in clamshell mode or as an additional monitor?

most of the time as an additional monitor....

This looks like an option, but I have no experience in writing scripts, and that seems the only way MarcoPolo could help me here....

Cmd-Opt-D

Do you really need an application to do that for you?

need and want are 2 different things...

I guess I need a memory upgrade in the ole' noggin to help me remember first that shortcut, and second to actually press it when I change....

the shortcut will save a few steps instead of having to open up dock preferences everytime....
