2 Click on the title bar. The window is now pinned, and can be moved
and grouped.
To resize a dockable window or a group of windows
1 Place the mouse pointer over a window border until the mouse pointer
changes to the splitter bar .
2 Click and drag the boarder to the desired size.
TIP You can resize both pinned and auto hidden windows. In an auto-hidden
group, each window can be resized separately from other windows. In a pinned
group, resizing one window resizes the rest of the windows.
Docking Tool
The docking tool indicates the relationship of a dragged window to the rest
of the canvas, and enables you to pinpoint drag and drop destinations.
The tool contains an inner zone and outer zone of controls representing the
drop destination. Five stickers of the inner zone are used to dock windows
relative to the closest suitable area on the canvas, while four stickers of the
outer zone are used to dock windows relative to the canvas itself.
The docking tool also provides visual previews of what space will be occupied
by a window. These previews are shown when you are moving a window and
while your mouse is over one of the stickers.
TIP To quickly create a window group, use the sticker at the center of the docking
tool when you drag a window to its location. This works anywhere on the canvas
excluding the default scene view and the Tilt window. Custom scene views can
be grouped with other windows.
