Did You Know?

Post by jimandi5000 »

Hello All,

Did you know you can dock the toolpath menu to the left menu?

I now don't have to jump back and forth to look at the toolpaths.

I think this is cool!
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Jim

You can put them anywhere you like, even undocked and floating around. Back when I used to run two monitors I had all the tabs open permanently on the 2nd monitor with Aspire taking up the whole of the 1st monitor.

The one thing you can't do which would be useful is to stretch them out horizontally as far as you want.

Click on the top of any tab (where it's name is), continue holding the mouse button down and drag the tab to wherever you want it. When it approaches the sides or other tabs it will auto dock to them. You can use the Window Layout settings in Options on the Edit menu to make the tabs appear in the same place each time you start the software.
