Bentley StormCAD CONNECT Edition Help

Customizing Managers

When you first start Bentley StormCAD CONNECT, you will see the default workspace, in which a limited set of dockable managers are visible. You can decide which managers will be displayed at any time and where they will be displayed. You can also return to the default workspace any time.

There are four states for each manager:

Floating: A floating manager sits above the Bentley StormCAD CONNECT workspace like a dialog box. You can drag a floating manager anywhere and continue to work.

You can also:

  • Resize a floating manager by dragging its edges.
  • Close a floating manager by clicking on the x in the top right-hand corner of the title bar.
  • Change the properties of the manager by right-clicking on the title bar.
  • Switch between multiple floating managers in the same location by clicking the manager's tab.
  • Dock the manager by double-clicking the title bar.

Docked Static: A docked static manager attaches to any of the four sides of the Bentley StormCAD CONNECT window. If you drag a floating manager to any of the four sides of the Bentley StormCAD CONNECT window, the manager will attach or dock itself to that side of the window. The manager will stay in that location unless you close it or make it dynamic. A vertical pushpin in the manager's title bar indicates its static state; click the pushpin to change the manager's state to dynamic. When the push pin is pointing downward (vertical push pin), the manager is docked.

You can also:

  • Close a docked manager by left clicking on the x in the upper right corner of the title bar.
  • Change a docked manager into a floating manager by double-clicking the title bar, or by dragging the manager to the desired location (for example, away from the side of the Bentley StormCAD CONNECT window).
  • Change a static docked manager into a dynamically docked manager by clicking the push pin in the title bar.
  • Switch between multiple docked managers in the same location by clicking the manager's tab.

Docked Dynamic: A docked dynamic manager also docks to any of the four sides of the Bentley StormCAD CONNECTi window, but remains hidden except for a single tab. Show a docked dynamic manager by moving the mouse over the tab, or by clicking the tab. When the manager is showing (not hidden), a horizontal pushpin in its title bar indicates its dynamic state.

You can also:

  • Close a docked manager by left clicking on the x in the upper right corner of the title bar.
  • Change a docked dynamic manager into a docked static manager by clicking the push pin (converting it from vertical to horizontal).
  • Switch between multiple docked managers in the same location by moving the mouse over the manager's tab or by clicking the manager's tab.

Closed: When a manager is closed, you cannot view it. Close a manager by clicking the x in the right corner of the manager's title bar. Open a manager by selecting the manager from the View menu (for example, View > Element Symbology), or by selecting the button for that manager on the appropriate toolbar.
