The options and settings for tool palettes are accessible from shortcut menus that are displayed when you right-click in different areas of the Tool Palettes window.
You can dock the Tool Palettes window on the right or left edge of the application window. Hold the Ctrl key to prevent docking as you move the Tool Palettes window towards a docking location.
The Tool Palettes window shortcut menu includes
- Allow Docking. Toggles the ability to dock or anchor the palette window. If this option is selected, the palette window can be docked when you drag it over a docking area at the side of the application window. A docked window adheres to the side of the application window and causes the drawing area to be resized. Selecting this option also makes Anchor Right and Anchor Left available.
- Anchor Left or Anchor Right. Attaches the palette window to an anchor tab to the left or right side of the application window. The palette window rolls open and closed as the cursor moves across it. When an anchored palette window is open, its content overlaps the drawing area. An anchored palette window cannot be set to stay open.
- Auto-hide. Controls the display of the palette window when it is floating. When this option is selected, only the title bar of the palette window is displayed when the cursor moves outside the palette window. When this option is cleared, the palette window stays open continuously. You can display the title bar of palette window as either icons or text from the shortcut menu of the title bar.
- Transparency. Sets the transparency of the palette window so it does not obscure objects under it.
- Views. Changes the display style and size of the icons on a tool palette.
