SW2008-Docking Task Pane

SW2008-Docking Task Pane

(OP)
Well......we finally did the switch from SW2007 to SW2008. I most say it's been running really excellent, and playing well with PDMWorks.

Question; how do I dock the task pane to the left of the screen? I can move it, but can't dock to the left.

Thanks,

As far as I know you can only dock it to the right. You can move it to the left and pin it.

Thanks Chris, but not exactly what I'm looking for. Why would they take away that option? It was a really handy option when you view PDMWorks doc's with long titles.

FYI,
I called our VAR and said other folks have been commenting about this same issue. He mention to submit an ER which I did.

I believe this capability is being planned for 2009 as well as being able to move the Command MAnager like in earlier versions.
