The workspace panes
Data objects, properties of objects, and other types of information can be easily viewed using the various panes available to you. By default, they are shown on the left or right side of the user interface or below your view area.
You can show and hide the various types of panes using the Panes drop-down list in the Workspace section on the right of the Strip. A blue border around the pane's name in the list indicates that it is currently being displayed. Click on it to hide it. Click on a pane without a blue border to show it.
Panes can share the same area in the layout of the application. You can view a particular pane by clicking its tab at the bottom of that area.
By clicking the icons in the top right corner of a pane, you can do the following:
- You can dock a pane by clicking the horizontal pin
icon. - You can auto hide a pane by clicking the vertical pin
icon. The panes will then collapse into a narrow border at the side of the screen. Click on the icon or name of the pane in this border to show the pane again. You can switch between auto hidden panes by clicking on them. - You can close a pane by clicking the close
icon.
To completely detach a pane from the main application window, click on the title bar of the pane and drag it to your desired location. Another way of detaching a docked pane is double clicking on the title bar. To reattach a pane, drag it back over the application, and use the Dock Manager to dock it at the desired location.
You can also quickly show and hide particular panes using the function keys on your keyboard.
