Reposition a window using docking stickers


Docking stickers appear in response to your cursor location as you drag one multiple-page docking pane container into another eligible docking pane container or into the Solid Edge application graphics window.

Note:

Single-pane containers are not eligible for docking and do not respond to docking stickers.

Dock a window along the perimeter of the application window

  1. Position the cursor on the title bar of the window you want to move.

  2. Click+drag the docking window toward the edge of the QY CAD application window where you want to dock it.

  3. With the cursor positioned over the docking sticker along that edge, release the mouse.

    Tip:

    If you do not like the result, drag the window back to its previous location, and use the nearby docking sticker to restore it to its original state.

Position a docking window inside another window

  1. Position the cursor on the title bar of the window you want to move.

  2. Click+drag the window into another window where you want to dock it.

    A group of docking stickers is displayed in the middle of the destination window.

  3. Position the cursor over one of the four directional stickers in the docking sticker group.

    Example:

    The shaded area shows how the window will be positioned when the directional arrow that points to the right is used.

    The shaded area also indicates that the window will be completely contained within the boundary of the destination window.

  4. When the preview is displayed, release the mouse.

Tip:

Add a docking window as a tab

    To turn off the docking stickers, press Ctrl as you drag the window.

  3. When the group of docking stickers is displayed, move your cursor onto the round sticker in the middle of the group.

    A shaded preview of the tab is displayed inside the destination window.

  4. Release the mouse button.

    The tab appears as another tab in the tab set.

Float a docking window

  • Double-click the title bar of a docked window.

  • Press the Ctrl key while dragging the window.

    This enables you to float the window near a border, in a position that would otherwise result in the pane being docked.
