Setting up dockable windows

A dockable window is a window that you can snap into place into the tracing window. All dockable windows can be accessed in the Workspace ribbon, some are also present in other ribbons.

You can either dock a window (i.e., snap it into place into the tracing window) or float a window to increase your work area beyond the program's main window.

If you don't close these windows before closing the program, they will open in the same location when you restart the program.

  • To open a window, click its button in the ribbon.
  • To close a window, either click its button in the ribbon again or click the "X" (Hide) in the upper right corner of the dockable window.
  • To close all dockable windows, click the Close all button in the Workspace ribbon.
