~~NOTOC~~ > #@IC_HTML@# user manual > User interface > View ====== Window tools ====== ---- Windows are displayed as#@IC_HTML@# tabs in by default. They may be sorted into groups (superimposed on one another) docked at the side of the main window, and changed in size. However all windows can also be detached from the tab view and used as freely movable single windows, e.g. in order to move them from the main view to another screen. \\ //**__Content__**//  • [[en:infra-convert:user:interface:wdwtools#Drawing windows]]\\  • [[en:infra-convert:user:interface:wdwtools#Function windows]]\\  • [[en:infra-convert:user:interface:wdwtools#Moving windows]] \\ ==== Drawing windows ==== Drawings are displayed in drawing windows (1) to the left of the main window by default. The tabs (2) can be used to switch between the windows. The number of tabs displayed is limited by the available space. If it is not possible to display all the tabs, a list of all tabs can be displayed via the {{:en:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_registerauswahl.png?nolink&0x11|}} (3) interface. A window can be closed using the {{:en:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_fenster_schliessen.png?nolink&0x11|}} in the tab. The default window layout can be restored via **View** ( toolbar) > **Reset window layout**.\\  **See** User interface > Main window > Menu bar > [[en:infra-convert:user:interface:menu#the_view_menu|The “View” menu]] {{ :en:infra-convert:user:interface:ic-fensterwerkzeuge_zeichnungsfenster.png?nolink |}} \\ ==== Function windows ==== Function windows are displayed on the right side of the main window by default. You can switch between the project overview ({{:de:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_werkzeug_projektuebersicht_oeffnen.png?nolink&0x11}}) and the characteristics overview ({{:de:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_werkzeug_merkmalsuebersicht_anzeigen.png?nolink&0x11}}) (1) using the tabs (2). The characteristic properties ({{:de:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_werkzeug_merkmalseigenschaften_anzeigen.png?nolink&0x11}}) are displayed underneath (3). Various functions for changing the window display can be accessed via {{:en:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_fensterposition.png?nolink&0x11|}}. The window can be hidden using {{:en:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_fenster_in_den_hintergrund.png?nolink&0x11|}}, but remains accessible via a tab docked at the side of the screen. The tab can be closed with {{:en:infra-convert:user:interface:icon_fenster_schliessen.png?nolink&0x11|}}. Closed function windows can be reopened via **View** ( toolbar). The default window layout can be restored via **View** ( toolbar) > **Reset window layout**.\\  **See** User interface > Main window > Menu bar > [[en:infra-convert:user:interface:menu#the_view_menu|The “View” menu]] {{ :en:infra-convert:user:interface:ic-fensterwerkzeuge_funktionsfenster.png?nolink |}} \\ ==== Moving windows ==== To release a window from its docking position, click on the title bar or the tab, keep the mouse key depressed and move the window to the desired position. The window can either be docked freely, e.g. on another screen, or assigned to an area in which it is to be docked as a tab with the help of the superimposed docking markings. The default window layout can be restored via **View** ( toolbar) > **Reset window layout**.\\  **See** User interface > Main window > Menu bar > [[en:infra-convert:user:interface:menu#the_view_menu|The “View” menu]] {{ :en:infra-convert:user:interface:ic-fensterwerkzeuge_verschiebemodus.png?nolink&600 |}} \\ ---- **Scroll backwards**\\ User interface > Function windows > [[en:infra-convert:user:interface:filter_edit|Edit filters]] **Scroll forwards**\\ User interface > View > [[en:infra-convert:user:interface:viewtools|Viewing tools]]
