Locking views
By default SONAR allows only one instance of each view, but you can lock the contents of most
views, preserving the current view by forcing a new instance of the view to appear if necessary.
Locking views is the only way you can have multiple instances of the same view open. Only the
Track and Console views cannot be locked.
To lock/unlock a view
Do one of the following:
• Click the upper left corner of a window, and choose Lock Contents from the pop-up menu.
If the view is docked in the MultiDock, right-click the view’s tab and choose Lock Contents.
