Finding a panel
If you are not sure of the location or current state of a panel, use the following procedure to find it.
- Click Window | Panels.
-
Identify the name of the
panel
on the menu list and determine its current state as follows:
- If the panel name does not have a checkmark next to it, the panel is currently closed. You can select the panel name to open the panel in its last location.
- If the panel name has a checkmark next to it, the panel is already showing. If you select the panel name, the panel closes, rather than opens.
-
If the panel is already showing, find your panel as follows:
- Use keyboard shortcuts either Ctrl + Tab or Alt + F7 to view and select from a list of panels with thumbnails. Then, press Tab or F7 key repeatedly to move down the list, and release the Ctrl or Alt key to select a panel.
In addition, you can also press Shift together with keyboard shortcuts above to move up the list. Then, release the hold on all shortcut keys to select a tool from the list.
When selected, the tool is given focus. If the tool includes a player or viewer such as the Inspector, Advanced Logging Suite, Segmentation, or Storyboard Editor, then the primary viewer of the tool is in focus.
- Check the edges of the application window to find your panel showing as a Show/Hide tab.
- In other panels check the area under the title bar to find your panel showing as a panel tab.
- Check the Windows taskbar and/or desktop to find your panel as an undocked panel. Your panel might be obscured by another panel or application window.
- If you are having difficulty finding your panel, close and then reopen the panel from Window | View. This causes the panel to open in front of any other panels that could be obscuring it.
- Click Window | View and reload a workspace.
