Using palettes

Palettes help you modify objects. By default, palettes are docked in several groups. You can display or hide palettes as you work. The positions of all open palettes are saved when you exit the program.

To show or hide a palette:

Choose the name of the palette from the Window menu.

A check mark next to the palette's name indicates that the selected palette is at the front of its group.

To change the palette display:

Do one of the following:

• To move a palette to the front of its group, click its tab.
• To move an entire palette group, drag its title bar.
• To rearrange or separate a palette group, drag a palette's tab. Dragging a palette outside of an existing group creates a new group.
• To move a palette to another group, drag the palette's tab to that group.
• To collapse or expand a group, click the minimize/maximize box (Windows) or click the zoom box (Mac OS^®).
• To return palettes to their default settings, choose Window > Reset To Defaults.
