Docking and Undocking Tool Windows and Meter Windows

Tool windows and meter windows can be used as docked windows, as floating windows, or as slide-out windows. You can freely drag around the windows and dock them to various locations.

  • To undock a tool window or a meter window, drag the corresponding tab to another position.

    Now the tool window or meter window is a floating window, which you can freely move around.

  • To dock a tool window or a meter window, click and hold the caption bar, or click the Options button to the right of the caption bar, and select Dock Tab Group Elsewhere.

    Note

    Yellow symbols indicate locations for docked windows.

    Pink symbols indicate locations for slide-out windows.

    Drag the window to one of the locations.

  • To dock a floating tool window or a meter window to its last docked position, click the Options button to the right of the caption bar, and select Dock to Last Place Again.
