Hiding and Displaying Panels

The Project Tree, Navigation Map, Error/Message Log, and Tool Windows can be hidden from view, leaving more room on your screen for the 3D Window.

Hide

To hide a panel entirely, do any of the following:

§  On the View tab, in the Show/Hide group, clear the check boxes of the panels you want hidden.

Note:        This option is only available for the Project Tree and Navigation Map.

§  Right-click the panel’s title bar, and from the shortcut menu, select Hide.

§  Click the X on the right side of the panel’s title bar.

To restore a panel that was hidden:

§  On the View tab, in the Show/Hide group, select the check box of the panel you want restored or reopen the tool. For the Error/Message Log, click the  icon below the 3D Window.

Auto-Hide

When a panel is in auto-hide, a tab appears on an edge of the screen that controls the panel’s display. When the cursor rests on the tab, the panel displays, and when it is moved away from the tab and the displayed panel, the panel disappears.

To auto-hide a panel:

§  Click the pushpin icon  on the panel’s title bar.

To view an auto-hidden panel:

§  Move the cursor over the panel’s tab.

Note:        If you want to hide the panel again, move the cursor off the panel.

To restore a panel from auto-hide, do either of the following:

§  Right-click the panel’s title bar, and from the shortcut menu, clear the Auto Hide option.

§  Click the pushpin icon  on the panel’s title bar.
