After you have initiated the docking of a floating view, Object Tab, or Object Tab Group, as you drag it around a layout, possible docking locations are highlighted in orange. The extent of the orange region indicates the area that would be taken by the view if it were docked.
In the following image, a floating Meter view is dragged towards the left edge of the flat Project Explorer view. The left edge of the flat view is highlighted as the potential docking location. The orange region indicates the area that would be taken by the Meter view if the mouse button were released.
In the following image, the Meter view is dragged a little further to the left. In this case, the left edge of the layout is highlighted as the potential docking location. The orange region indicates that the Meter view would expand to fill the vertical extent of the layout and half of its width if the mouse button were released.
When dragging either a single floating Object Tab or a floating Object Tab Group over a flat Object Tab Group, orange highlighting indicates the additional possibility of docking the floating tabs among the flat tabs.
To dock a floating view within a layout:
Click the view's title tab and start dragging the view.
Drag the floating view over the area where you want the view to be docked within the layout.
The area is highlighted in orange.
Release the mouse button.
The floating view becomes a flat view, and you can optionally resize it. See Resizing flat views in a layout.
To undock a view from a layout:
Click the title bar of the view you want to undock from the layout and then start dragging the view.
Drag the view anywhere in the layout ensuring no area is highlighted orange. If an area is highlighted in orange, then the view will be docked there instead of being undocked.
Release the mouse button.
The flat view becomes a floating view. Its title bar now has a shortened title tab.
To move a floating view without docking it:
Click the view's title bar on either side of the title tab.
Drag the floating view to the desired location and release the mouse button.
