Artist Help:Advanced GUI

From ShowCAD Wiki

These topics apply to the five main frame windows, the toolbars and the menu.

Docking and Undocking Each of the main windows in the docked GUI view can be undocked by right-clicking and selecting 'Allow Docking". When this is done the window is now an overlapped window which can be dragged to any where on the screen(s).

You can also undock a window by double clicking on the gripper bar. The window will become an overlapped window. However, when it is dragged near to a frame that it can dock to, the drag frame changes shape to show where it will dock when you release the mouse button.

Float in Client Right click in the window and select 'Float in Client'. The window will now appear in the client area and an extra tab will appear.

To return it to its previous position right-click and select 'Float in Client ' again.

Full Screen Mode From the Main Menu select 'View\Full Screen Mode'. Artist will now occupy all of the screen and will remove the Windows task bar. The main menu now becomes a drop down that can be accessed by moving the pointer to the top of the screen.
