Opening the Fusion Palettes

There are three palettes used in 2020 Fusion: the Catalogue Items palette, the 2020 Cloud (Browser) palette and the Navigate View palette.

The Catalogue Items and 2020 Cloud palettes can be opened by selecting the corresponding buttons in the Insert tab, as seen below:

The Navigate View palette can be opened by clicking the Change View Point button in the Position section of the View tab, as seen below:



Please note that the Navigate View palette is only active in the Elevation and Perspective Views.
 

Closing and Hiding the Palettes

You can close each of the palettes at any time by clicking the small cross icon in the top right-hand corner of each palette, and they can be recalled later using the buttons mentioned above.

If you wish to hide the palettes so that they do not take up screen space unless selected, you can click the Auto Hide button. The Auto Hide button is the drawing pin icon (just to the left of the cross icon) in the top right-hand corner of the palette, as shown here:



When Auto Hide is selected, the drawing pin icon will appear highlighted and the palettes will condense to the left-hand corner of the window, as seen above. The palettes will now only appear when selected, or if you hover your cursor over this new button for each palette. To switch off Auto Hide, simply click the drawing pin icon again on any of the palettes.
 

Moving, Docking and Stacking the Palettes

Moving Palettes

In order to move any palette, you must simply open the palette, position your mouse cursor over the palette name at the top of the palette, and click and drag the palette to where you would like it.

Docking Palettes 

It is possible to "dock" each palette to one side of your window - this will lock the palette in this position for all designs. Any palettes that are not docked are classified as "Floating" palettes.
When moving a palette, you will notice that several icons appear in different areas of the screen:



Moving your mouse cursor when dragging the palette and releasing your mouse over any one of these icons will dock the palette to the corresponding side of the screen.

Stacking Palettes

Most users prefer to stack the palettes on top of each other so that all three are accessible at all times, whilst taking up minimum screen space.
To stack move one palette, use the click and drag method onto another palette. You should then see an additional, square-shaped docking icon in the centre of the stationary palette:



Move your cursor over this square docking icon and release the palette you are moving. The palettes should then form tabs at the bottoms of the screen, and you can switch between the two by selecting the relevant tab. You can stack all three palettes in this way, or have one palette docked or floating elsewhere.
