Working with Tabs

Software Ideas Modeler offers many options how to work with tabs.

Tab bar can be displayed in one of two modes:

  • Compact - shows only names of tabs
  • Thumbnails - shows names with thumbnail of diagram or with icon of tab (tab without diagrams)

If you want to switch to Thumbnail tab bar, move mouse cursor to blue line below tabs (cursor will change to double-arrow), press left mouse button and drag down. You can adjust the height of the tab bar by your preferences.

Too many open tabs?

If you have so many open tabs that you don't see all of them, you can easily navigate through them. Just press right mouse button anywhere on the tab bar and move right or left. You will drag all tabs to right or left. You can scroll the tabs also using mouse wheel.

If you prefer a menu with list of all open tabs, click on the button in the right corner of the tab bar.

  • Close All - closes all tabs.
