Hi,
How do I Permanently undock console and browser view ?
I use 2 monitors and like the console and browser on the 2nd monitor but it always seems to revert to the dock.
Thanks

make a screenset and lock it.

What he said... and/or make it the default startup screenset for all your project templates/normal template...
 
Don't know if you can copy this file to all ur old songs... but everytime u open um, just set it up, lock it, and close it with that screenset active

Just to open the console? Seriously?
I'll just assume that's a joke?

Well, that's the problem. The project I'm working on, I have the console floating but everytime I close it and re-open it gets docked. Maybe it's the "lock it" you guys speak of. What is that please?
 
I was thinking there was some setting in preferences that I can't find. 
 
Thanks

If like me you have the CV on the second monitor and you save the project with that setup it should open that way.
 
The project should remember where all open views are. In fact if I close a view then save that project when I open the project and then open the closed view it will open on the monitor I closed it from. 
 
However the original screen set will override what the project should remember and use the screenset's memory. I believe the behavior you describe would be consistent with a locked screenset.
 
From page 1302 of the manual.
To prevent the current screenset from being modified
1. Make sure the Screenset module is visible in the Control Bar.
2. Click the Screenset menu and select Lock/Unlock Current Screenset.
A padlock icon appears next to the screenset name in the Screenset menu to indicate that the screenset is
locked. To unlock the screenset, select the Lock/Unlock Current Screenset command again.

I for one wish there was a setting in preferences to have no multdock ever. Like before it was thrust upon us.
You gotta be brave to say that around here though.

I have two monitors, and the CV is always on the right-hand laptop monitor in every project, including new ones.  If I need to access Windows Explorer or any other application, I minimize the CV on that monitor.  I am not using a Screenset.  I dragged the Track View to the left-hand monitor and the CV to the right-hand one and Sonar remembered that configuration.

Yea, that was my next question. How to eliminate the multidock. You're not alone.

 Yea, it will open that way if I leave the console open on saving. But, if I close it, it gets docked.
I'll look at the screen sets. Thanks.

Glad it works for you. Doesn't work for me. Thanks

I was merely confirming that Sonar didn't require a Screenset or any other option to be selected, but I have the CV open all of the time, I don't close it on Save or Exit.  Good luck.

what do you mean a joke ? I was trying to help. but much like the other comments I reply to you, you don't seem to appreciate it. so I will explain it in more detail. and refrain from replying to any more of your comments.
 
1- Set up the multidock the way you want it (on both monitors)
2- Create a screenset and lock it. this way it takes 1 button press to open your preferred multi monitor set up.
Like John, my project opens in the saved state I leave it in upon save/close/reopen. Good luck.
