Undocked windows are fully functional. The advantage of docked windows is automatic justication
when you re-size a window.
Docking
New windows are undocked by default. To dock a window, drag its pin icon to the docking position.
A dark line will appear while you drag to indicate where the window will be inserted.
To test the docking feature, rst add a new view panel by choosing Main menu: Window > New View
Panel. Drag the new view panel’s pin to the desired position in the interface such as between the Object
manager and Attribute manager (wait until you see the dark line appear before releasing the mouse
button).
New view, still undocked. The new view docked.
To remove a window, click the window’s pin and choose Undock. Click the pin once more and this
time choose Close.
Naming
You’ll nd the Rename command on the pin’s menu. This lets you rename a window or icon palette.
An icon palette’s name will only be displayed if the palette has a tab.
Tabs
When you drop a pin onto another pin, both become tabs, even if the target
was not a tab.
You can display a window or icon palette as a tab. To create the tab, click the pin icon and choose
Make Tab. To move a tab from one group to another, drag the tab’s pin onto a tab or pin in the target
group. The mouse pointer changes to a hand to indicate where the tab will be inserted.
Left: Insertion is possible when the pointer changes to a hand. Right: Icon palettes make great tabs!
