Customizing
3. In the dialog that opens, enter a name for the work-
space.
4. Click OK.
The workspace is stored and will appear on the submenu. It will now be
the active workspace.
5. Set up the windows you want to include in the new
workspace.
This may include opening, moving and sizing windows, and adjusting
zoom and track height.
Activating a workspace
1. Pull down the Window menu and open the Work-
spaces submenu.
2. Select the workspace from the list on the submenu.
The windows are closed, opened, moved and/or resized according to the
stored workspace.
• You can also activate any of nine workspaces using key
commands.
This is set up under the Workspaces category in the Key Commands
dialog.
Organizing workspaces and presets
If you select “Organize…” from the Workspaces sub-
menu, the Organize Workspaces dialog opens:
The list to the left shows the workspaces in the active
project, while the list to the right shows the workspace pre-
sets. While workspaces are stored with each project, work-
space presets can be stored globally, allowing you to set
up a number of workspaces for use in any project. Work-
space presets store the position and size of the main win-
dows only – project-specific windows are not included.
• In the Workspaces list to the left, you can rename work-
spaces (by double-clicking and typing) and lock or unlock
them.
• The arrow buttons between the two lists allow you to
copy the selected workspace to a workspace preset, or
vice versa.
• The buttons below each list let you add, remove or acti-
vate workspaces or presets.
You can also activate a workspace or a preset by double-clicking in its
number column.
• Normally, when you use key commands to activate
workspaces, they relate to the order in the workspace list,
e.g. the key command for “Workspace 1” selects the first
workspace on the list and so on. However, if you activate
the Use IDs checkbox, you can enter a number (1-9) in the
ID column for each workspace.
This number will be used as reference when you are using key com-
mands, so that the key command for “Workspace 1” recalls the work-
space with ID 1.
• Workspace presets are saved with the project. By de-
fault the global presets are shown in the list to the right –
to see the presets of other projects, activate the Show
Project Presets checkbox.
• Activate the Auto Instantiate Presets checkbox to con-
vert all global workspace presets automatically into work-
spaces when you create a new project or open a project.
• To close the dialog, click the OK button or use [Esc].
Note that you can continue working in other windows with the Organize
Workspaces dialog open.
