To roll up a palette so only its title bar is visible:
Click on the minus button on the palette title bar.
To dock a palette:
Click on the arrow button or drag the palette to the docking bar (see "Using the Docking bar" on
page 33 and "Using AutoSnap palettes" on page 25).
To arrange palettes:
Choose Window | Palettes | Clean Up Palettes. Canvas moves all open palettes except the ToolBox
and floating tool palettes to the upper-right corner of the document.
To close all palettes:
Choose Window | Palettes | Put Away Palettes. Canvas closes all open palettes, including the
Smart Toolbox and floating tool palettes.
Palettes submenu
All Canvas palettes are listed in the Window | Palettes menu. To display a palette, choose the name of
the palette in the submenu. If a palette is behind other palettes, it comes to the front. If a palette is
docked, the palette comes off the Docking bar and opens.
Tool palettes are listed in the Windows | Toolbox submenu.
Some palettes are also associated with commands in other menus; e.g., the Layout | Document
Layout command opens the Document Layout palette. The Image | Show Channels/Hide Channels
commands open and close the Channels palette.
Presets palette icons in the Toolbox
You can access the Presets palette from the Strokes icon, Dash styles icon, Arrow styles icon, Pen Ink
icon, and Fill Ink icon in the Toolbox. You can use these icons to select preset colors, dashes, arrows,
and pen widths. To open the Presets palette, click on one of these icons to open the palette and then
drag the palette away from the Toolbox.
