Using the Docking Pane

You can use the Docking pane, located to the right of the Layout Area, to dock the following palettes:

  • Canvas Assistant
  • Document Layout
  • Flowchart
  • Page Navigator
  • Symbol Library

To Show or Hide the Docking Pane:

Click the Expand/Collapse button on the vertical splitter bar.

If you remove all the palettes from the Docking pane and close them, you will not be able to see the vertical splitter bar and the Docking pane will be hidden. To reopen the Docking pane, open one of the palettes, such as the Canvas Assistant, and drag it to the Docking pane.

Docking Palettes

When you dock a palette, a tab with the palette’s name appears in the Docking pane stacked with the Canvas Assistant. The tabs of docked palettes give you quick access to tools or features and leave more screen space for working on your document.

To Dock a Palette:

Do one of the following:

  • Drag a palette to the Docking pane and drop it when the palette window expands to fill the pane.
  • Click the Docking button located in the upper right corner of the palette. 

To Remove a Docked Palette:

Click on the palette name at the top of the Docking pane and drag the palette away from the pane.

To View a Docked Palette:

Click the palette's tab to bring the palette forward.

To Arrange Docked Palettes:

Click and drag a palette's tab to move it to another position in the Docking pane.

Palettes that are docked in the Docking pane when you quit Canvas X Draw will be docked the next time you launch Canvas X Draw.
