Other editors are available as document windows for certain functions.
What are other editors?
Other editors provide certain functions in a document window.
Document windows primarily differ from tool windows due to their dynamic creation and destruction. Whereas tool windows are always restricted to a fixed number per model, document windows can also be called in multiple.
A tool window can be arranged in a document area, but a document window cannot be arranged in a tool window area.
Document Window Options
Document windows can also be shown using the following options:
- Float
The document window floats as its own window and is not in a fixed position - Dock
The document window is shown in a fixed position in the document window area.
You can reach the options of a document window as follows:
- In Float mode, via the context menu and the
icon in the window title. - In Dock mode, via the context menu in the window title.
When you move the document window, document window positioning icons appear. You can use these to dock the document window again by depositing it in the document window area again.
