Moving, Docking and Undocking Windows

To move, dock or undock a window:

  1. Make sure that the window is not auto-hidden.

  2. Start to drag the window around the EdgeCAM window:

  3. As soon as you start to drag, some handles appear. Each handle docks at either the top, bottom, left or right edge of the overall EdgeCAM window (or inside another window - see below). To dock, hover over one of these handles and drop.

    To give you a preview, an overlaid colour shows you the position the window will occupy, as you hover over each handle.

  4. To move or undock the window, simply re-position it without using the handles.

When dragging a window, there are 'outer' handles right at the edges of the EdgeCAM window, and 'inner' handles.

The outer handles move or re-size existing windows as necessary to make room for the new window position.

The inner handles fit the window into any available empty space along the edge, or split existing window space to make room for the window, as necessary.

As you hover over an existing window, a central handle appears that docks the window at the same place, producing tabs to switch between them.
