How to Dock a Dockable dialog in MicroStation CONNECT Edition?

Background

When you drag a dockable dialog, docking indicators appear on the screen. These docking indicators indicate which edges of the application window the selected dialog can be docked to. In most cases, a dockable dialog can only be docked either horizontally or vertically, however some dialogs can be docked both horizontally and vertically.

Steps to Accomplish

To Dock a Dockable dialog

1. Select a dockable dialog's title bar.
2. Drag the dialog over one of the docking indicators that appears in the center of the screen or along the edges of the application window.
   
   
   
3. Pause the pointer over one of the docking indicatiors. This highlights the available docking region along the corresponding edge of the application window.
   
4. Release the mouse button. The dialog is docked within the selected docking region.
   

To Dock one Dockable dialog on Top of Another

1. Dock a dockable dialog to an edge of the application window.

2. Dock another dockable dialog within the same docking region, so that the pointer is over the center docking indicator.
   

3. Both dialogs are now docked on top of each other.

To Close a Docked Dialog 

1. When the dialog is docked, simply click the dialog's Close icon next to the Unpin icon.

2. Docked dialog closes and disappears from the view.
