New computer, 2 screens

X1 Producer expanded.
I now have installed x1 64 bit on my new computer.(Finally updated from XP)
I now have two monitors as well.
How do you work with them both?
I assume you would want the track view on one and console view on the other?
 

Yes, you can extend the entire SONAR workspace over both screens OR you can float the MultiDock with the Console view inside or just float the Console view by itself. You can dock or float other views as well.
 
Right-click the tab in the MultiDock and choose Undock for the view you want to float. Then you can move its window to the other screen outside the SONAR workspace.

Try out different combinations - I generalyl run Track View on one, and Console View on another, and if I really need space, I will hook up another monitor, otherwise I will drag anything else I need to wherever it is out of the way for what I am doing.
 
It all works, and through some experimentation, you will arrive at some combination that makes sense to the way YOU do things.  :)
 
You can always change it at any time.

I am running Win7 and have a shortcut to DisplaySwitch (C:\Windows\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe) on my desktop as I only use the second monitor with SONAR in extended mode. As with Bob, I tend to keep the main program on the main monitor and the mutlidock/VST UIs on the other. I switch back to computer only after done with SONAR and the monitor will go into standby without an active signal.

Great ideas guys, Thanks. With having only one screen all this time, I totally ignored the undock feature because I couldn't understand why one would ever use it.

I work using both screensets and tossing stuff over to the second monitor. This includes my effects in one screenset and my Soft synth GUI's in another, Like the others I also put the console over there/ But what I find is you can have a completly different view for each project. The screenset seem attached to each project. On one with a large track count I have the console view spanning both monitors. 
 
Be aware of one pitfall of dual monitors. You might decide to turn it off for some reason. Then you'll open an application  you last dragged over to the second screen and scratch your head wondering why it won't open? 
It's seems stupid but I keep doing this..so don't turn it off. 
This will also screw you up if you back your projects up and then try and open them on your laptop. You have to run your mouse off screen and blindly grab stuff and drag it back. 

I found the easiest method is to stretch the TV across both screens and use D to open the dock on the right screen.  If needed you can extend it - when working on lot's o synths or lots of channels in the Console view.
 
Right now I have the same thing on two screens, but one is my touch.  I use D a lot more.
