The default palette layout in VectorWorks Fundamentals can be customized. Select the palettes to display or hide with the Window > Palettes menu (or select Palettes from the document context menu). Click on the title bar of any displayed palette and drag it to the desired location. Most palettes can be resized by the standard Windows or Macintosh resize method. Palette size, position, and visibility are saved upon exiting VectorWorks Fundamentals.
On the Macintosh, the palettes can be placed in a margin on either side of the drawing area. When the palette margins are in use, the drawing area cannot expand past a fixed size, which allows the palettes to remain out of the way. The palette margin area can be turned on and off in the VectorWorks preferences as described in Setting VectorWorks Preferences.
On Macintosh, click the palette’s yellow title bar button or double-click the palette’s title bar to minimize the palette. Repeat the process to maximize the palette.
On Windows, click the palette’s pin icon in the title bar to toggle between minimized (horizontal pin icon) and maximized (vertical pin icon) display. Move the cursor over a minimized title bar to temporarily maximize the palette; move the cursor off the palette to minimize it again.
