Docking and undocking dialog boxes and toolbars
To give you freedom in how you use the program, you can undock and move toolbars
and windows and position them where you wish. This is particularly useful if you have two monitors, so
you could for example put your windows on one screen and keep the other monitor dedicated to the
Xara 3D Maker workspace.
Note: If you experience a problem with your windows or toolbars at any time, or wish to return them to
their standard layout, click Reset user interface on the Window
menu.
Moving toolbars
There are five toolbars: standard, design, options, text and time line. You can turn these on and off via
the Window
menu.
You can drag them around the screen by clicking and holding them (see the image above) and dragging.
If you drag a toolbar to an edge of the program it will dock there. You can also just drag the toolbar out
elsewhere on the screen, and it will undock entirely and become free-floating.
Note: If you experience a problem with your windows or toolbars at any time, or wish to return them to
their standard layout, click Reset user interface on the Window
menu.
Option bars
The option bars can be found to the right of the screen when you first start Xara 3D Maker. Rather than
opening and closing endless windows, most of Xara 3D Maker's settings are contained here. You can
easily switch between the tabs to access the different features.
You can turn this entire panel off or on via the Window
menu. You can also tailor how you use the option bars as follows:
To undock an option bar.
Just click and drag one of the options (where it says color options, extrusion options etc.) out of its
current location. The window will undock, and you can position where you require. You can do this with
as many of the windows as you wish.
If you find the window is redocking when you don't want to, hold the Ctrl key while moving it.
To redock an option bar.
Just drag the window back to the panel options bar at the right of your screen, and the window will
redock.
Pinning an option bar open.
After undocking a window, by default it will minimize once you move your mouse away from it. As soon
as you move your mouse back, it will expand. To get the window to remain open, just click the little pin
icon at the top right of the window. Click again to return to the auto-hide format.
