Window floating disappeared?!?
So, I'm running Sonar Steam Edition. At first everything was multidocked, no matter what.
Then I opened an older project and you could make the PRV float. Then again, opening console view was docked and no options to make it float. In the pic you see there's no console icon in the corner. Just like when starting a new project, there's no icon on PRV window like th "keyboard" icon in the pic.
It's really frustrating when everything is forced in the multidock. No matter if I select undock or whatever.

Here's your best bet, Set up a screenset exactly the way you want it and then lock it. You can even set up multiple screensets and lock all of them if you wish. If a lot of your projects use the same tracks/plug ins then you can set up a project template using your custom made screensets. This feature is one of the best in Sonar in my opinion. it allows fast start ups and removes long set up times. - To get back your floating views go to Views/Select a view. - To get back Piano roll view go to any midi track and right click/Views/PRV. - If the view is floating, click the top of that windows icon and choose Dock in multidock - You can drag a window in to an dock (It turns blue in color)

Thanks for your reply!
Yeah, I do use my own project templates.
Now that if I start a blank project, the PRV is floating but still, can't make the Console View to float.
Here's the pics

Ok. They were dropbox links, not posted as images, though.

The data I removed were not urls. It was image data.

just grab the Console view tab (lower left corner) by clicking and dragging it to where you want.

Update: I managed to open an older project and the PRV was floating already and there was the PRV icon on top left corner that lets you choose "float". So I was happy. 'Til it was multidocked again and the PRV icon was gone.
When it was working I did a new template but suddenly it all got screwed up again. No idea what's happening.
I really hate the multidocking system.

I did too, until I got off my but and learned more about it. Now I think it's better than sliced bread. But that's me. I had to get past some differences in my understanding, between Windows screen handling and Multidock handling. Different animals. 😉

To float any docked view, drag the tab for the view out of the multidock. If the Windows menu in the top left corner is missing the floating and multidock options, it is not a view. It is the undocked multidock and there should be tab(s) for the view(s) visible at the top.

Notice the first image has a tab called Console. This is the Console view in a floating multidock. Drag the Console tab out of the multidock to see a floating Console view.

Oh I get it! :)
I hate this!
1st but I don't thick this is your problem... in full screen mode down in the lower right you cant see the frame's option.
ok, so you open a project and for me it's always the console view takes up the full screen, well kind of... ha!
anyway. To fix this (if it's your issues) you need to in the upper right corner reduce the "Track view" then drag the other views into the Track view. Depending if you are docked on the top or the bottom, grab the undocked view on the top or bottom... rollover the area where it would normally be docked. Look for the blue bar to light up then let go. It should then dock the view into the Track View.
I hope that makes since! :)
EDIT: I should say that with this "bug" you will need to dock the view ^ in order to fix the bug. Then you can float if you want to.
peace!
Hay look, Somethings are not locked in stone... lol 3/18/2019

Finally got it! Thanks. So now I figured out how it works. So when say, the console, is in multidock, you just drag it away where it says "console" in multidock.
Took a few years to realise this...

I know sometimes it takes a few posts to digest what is being written but I said that in the 4th post. Chuckebaby
just grab the Console view tab (lower left corner) by clicking and dragging it to where you want.
I felt like you ignored that post. so I posted again in greater detail but you seemed to ignore that post as well (instead posting links to your drop box) So I removed that post all together figuring its not worth explaining when someone isn't listening. I am glad you got it worked it out but sometimes its worth reading what is written.
