how to open multiple windows in planmaker

Post by IMAZTriBabe »

I have updated to the new version of Softmaker NX 2024... Now, I cannot have two windows open in planmaker. I open one and it closes the other.. before I upgraded to 2024 NX, I didn't have this issue... I could open as many planmaker windows as I needed. where is the setting to do this? I have tried to search the forum and found one answer. tried to take the steps listed, and still could not figure out how to make this option work again.. obviously, my age is showing...

Thank you....

I happened to see your question and have this information for you from the Planmaker Manual (EN) page39:
To release a tab and display it in a separate program window, drag it to a position outside the current
program window while holding down the left mouse button.
Of course, this can also be done in reverse: A separately opened program window can be dragged into the
tab bar of an existing PlanMaker program window.
The manual at page 443 has this chapter: Working with multiple documents

For users who need this in the future:
Select "File > New" or "File > Open," and in the file dialog that appears, check or uncheck the option "New program window." Once set, this option will remain active for future sessions.
