Control the Size, Location, and Appearance of DesignCenter
You can control the size, location and appearance of DesignCenter.
■ Resize DesignCenter by dragging the bar between the content area and the
tree view or by dragging an edge as you would any other window.
■ Dock DesignCenter by dragging it over the right or left docking regions of
the AutoCAD window until it snaps into the docked position. You can also
dock the DesignCenter window by double-clicking its title bar.
■ Undock DesignCenter by dragging the area above the toolbar away from
the docking region. Pressing
CTRL while dragging prevents docking.
■ Change the automatic roll-over behavior of DesignCenter by clicking the
Auto-hide button on the DesignCenter title bar.
When the DesignCenter roll-over option is turned on, the DesignCenter tree
view and content area disappear when you move your cursor off the Design-
Center window, leaving only the title bar. When you move your cursor over
the title bar, the DesignCenter window is restored.
Several options are available on the shortcut menu that is displayed when
you right-click on the DesignCenter title bar.
