Navigator in A/C 11

[Anonymous]

I am having a weird experience this morning. Every time i go into a story level to draw, my navigator disappears and I have to go into Window>Pallet>Navigator and turn it back on. Has any one had this problem and know a solution?

Right-click just below the Navigator's headline and turn off auto-hide.

Thanks. I had already figured it out.

Is there a way to get it to come back up without using the Window>Pallet>Navigator path? Like hovering over the windows taskbar to see it after you autohide it.

If you maximize your window, at the bottom left there is a navigator icon. Single click on it.

Hi Doug,

You can do this by clicking a small button located in the lower part of the screen, near the horizontal scroll bar (see attached image).

Cheers.

Thanks guys. I've never seen the autohide function. I've got plenty of display at work but it might come in handy here at home.

You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to 'Show/Hide Navigator' in your Work Environment.

This will turn it on and off.

Cheers,

yes - this is the way i work on a smaller screen. except that having 'auto-hide' switched on is probably the best method for hiding it again: once you invoke the navigator with a single-key shortcut the navigator's content becomes the 'active' input environment (the pale highlight around the navigator list well). trying to use a single-key shortcut at that point will only try and select the text within the navigator well and not invoke the 'hide' command . . .

i must admit, i haven't tried it with a modifier+key shortcut . . .
