Dockers

Dockers display the same type of controls as a dialog box, such as command buttons, options, and list boxes. Unlike most dialog boxes, you can keep dockers open while working on a document, so you can readily access the commands to experiment with different effects.

An example is the Property Manager docker. When this docker is open, you can click an object in the drawing window and view formatting, dimensions, and other properties of the object.

The Property Manager docker

Dockers can be either docked or floating. A docked docker is attached to the edge of the application window, a toolbar, or a palette. A floating docker is not attached to a workspace element. If you open several dockers, they usually appear nested, with only one docker fully displayed. You can quickly display a docker hidden from view by clicking the docker’s tab.

Left: Docked and nested dockers. Right: Floating docker. To dock a floating docker, click the title bar, and drag until the pointer is at the edge of the drawing window. To close a docker, click the X button in the upper-right corner. To collapse or expand a docker, click the docker’s tab.

You can move dockers, and you can collapse dockers to save screen space.

To open or close dockers, you can also click the Quick customize button on the right side of a docker, and enable or disable the corresponding check boxes.

You can also close a docker by clicking the X button on its title bar. Clicking the X button on the title bar closes all nested dockers in a group. To close only a specific docker, click the X button on the docker’s tab.
