Viewing a Frameless Environment Window
There may be occasions where you would like to have access to particular Environment
objects while working in the Arrange window. As an example, a few buttons that are
used to control a tape machine.
Rather than needing to open (or indeed viewing) a full Environment window every
time you need to control the tape machine, you can create a mini window that floats
on top of other windows.
Typically, this would be the approach:
1 Create a new layer.
2 Create the objects, cable them if necessary, and adjust their parameters as needed.
3 Reposition the objects, and resize the Environment window so that it is just large
enough to accommodate the objects.
4 Choose View > Frameless Floating Window.
This will create the mini Environment window, which floats above other windows.
5 Position it as desired (above the Arrange window would be the most obvious use), and
press Shift-L to lock this as a screenset.
6 Simply choose this screenset to access to the tape controls whenever you need them.
