The docking tool also provides visual previews of what space will be occupied by a window. These previews are
shown when you are moving a window and while your mouse is over one of the stickers.
TIP To quickly create a window group, use the sticker at the center of the docking tool when you drag a window to
its location. This works anywhere on the canvas excluding the default scene view and the Tilt window. Custom scene
views can be grouped with other windows.
To move a window with the docking tool
1 Click and drag the title bar at the top or side of the window towards the place where you want it to dock.
This activates the docking tool.
2 Drag the window over the sticker on the docking tool that represents the area you want the window to
occupy.
3 Release the mouse button to dock the window there. The window is automatically resized to fill the area.
Status Bar
The Status bar appears at the bottom of the Autodesk Navisworks screen. It cannot be customized or moved
around.
The left-hand corner of the Status bar is used to display short instructions on how to use the Autodesk Navisworks
features (applies to the Classic user interface only).
In the right-hand corner of the Status bar there are four performance indicators that give you constant feedback
as to how well Autodesk Navisworks is performing on your machine.
Pencil Progress Bar
The progress bar under the left hand icon (pencil) indicates how much of the current view is drawn, that is how
much drop-out there is in the current viewpoint. When the progress bar is at 100%, the scene is completely
drawn, with no drop-out. The icon changes color when a redraw is in progress. Whilst the scene is being drawn,
the pencil will change to yellow. If there is too much data to handle and your machine cannot process this
quickly enough for Autodesk Navisworks, then the pencil changes to red, indicating a bottleneck.
