Arranging the workspace
By default, windows, diagrams and views are arranged as tabs in the workspace. You can place these freely on the screen or on a second monitor.
Docking window
All windows and views can be fixed to one of the four sides of the workspace. As soon as you release a window from its anchorage or drag it into the workspace from outside, a positioning aid is displayed that allows a window to be docked to one of the four sides of the workspace. By dragging the view to one of the arrow icons, you determine the position at which it should be docked. Note that the positioning help is only displayed if the Dockable option is activated in the menu of the window title bar. You can open this menu by right-clicking on the title bar of the window.
Hiding/showing windows
You can reduce open windows to a button, for example, if you need more space on the screen. Click on the pin to move it to the background.
The window becomes a button and staples to the edge of the page.
To display the window again, move the mouse over the button until the window slides back into the screen and click on the pin again.
Placing views
Click on the title bar of the desired window and drag it to the desired position while holding down the mouse button. If you want to return a diagram window to its original position, right-click in the title bar and select the command Tabbed Document.
To display the window again, move the mouse over the button until the window slides back into the screen and click on the pin again.
