Placing a dock window to left of layout screen, above the Layer Palette

blankman

Hi,

I am trying to dock a window to the left of my layout window, and above the existing Layer Palette. However no matter what value I place for "?index" (see below), it always places the dock window on the left side, but BELOW the Layer Palette, ie bottom left of layout window. Is it possible to dock the window to the TOP left of the layout window?

Thanks

?window w_dwindowID

[ ?side s_side ]
[ ?index x_index ]
[ ?unmapped g_unmapped ]
[ ?tabOnto w_dwindowID ]
)

    Hello,

    There is a simple way to achieve this, you can drag the dockwindow to the top of the Palette. 

    Thanks,
    Steve
