KOMPAS-3D allows to work simultaneously with multiple system windows. Several documents can be opened in each window (documents are placed on their respective tabs).

You can create the required number of windows in several different ways. While you are working, you can move document tabs between windows.

Creating new windows

The following methods of creating new windows in KOMPAS-3D are available:

launching KOMPAS-3D — each launch creates a new window, expanded to the full screen,

extraction of a document tab from the current window – a new window not expanded to the full screen is created.

In the latter case, to create a new window it is required to drag the document tab with the mouse by the header. During dragging, the document icon is displayed on the screen. The newly created window contains the document being moved. The size and position of the new window depend on the dragging option:

dragging into an arbitrary place outside the line of header tabs – the left top corner of the new KOMPAS-3D window is positioned at the place where the mouse button is released during dragging; the window is in optimized mode (not maximized); the window size is default for this mode;

dragging to the left or right border of the screen until the backlit appears – the new KOMPAS-3D window is attached to the selected border; it is in optimized mode and occupies half of the screen.

After dragging of the tab of the last opened document from the current KOMPAS-3D window this window remains on the screen. The Start page is displayed in it.

To move an open document to a new window, use the Move to a new window command for KOMPAS, that is called from the context menu on the document tab header.

Transfer of document tabs between windows

If necessary, you can return the document into the original window, as well as move documents between windows. To do this, drag window by the tab header. It is necessary to move the tab until the following documents are highlighted in the window to which the tab is moved:

borders of tab headers – if the window contains open documents,

row in the upper part of the window – if the Start page is displayed in the window.

When the tab header is in the highlight region, release the mouse button.
