I have 2 windows that I have docked to the “north”. I have 1 window docked to the “west”. I want the 2 windows docked to the north to overlap the window docked to the west. How do I do this? I have the layer and dock index of the 2 north docked windows higher than the west docked window. I thought this would correct it but it doesn’t do anything. Help is appreciated.
Unfortunately, the docked north window cannot overlap the docked west window.
Travis,
If a window docked to the north can not take horizontal position preference over a window docked on the west then what would be a good solution for the case of having the main navigation tabs on the top but based on some selections (from the top menu) needing a menu on the left of the screen.
I have attached a screen shot of an existing app that I am in the process of converting to ignition. When the “Water” tab on the top is selected it displays the individual station screens which are selectable from the general status/navigation menu on the left.
It would be great if I could dock the water sub-menu to the west without shifting the top menu over to the right.
Thanks,
I think that these two things would be good feature requests.
- Allow docked windows to overlap. (based upon what criteria though…)
- Allow the user to choose docking layout: whether vertical takes the most space or horizontal takes the most space.
Last post is fairly old: is there any update about giving to the north docked window the horizontal preference?

Is there any progress on this?
No, this has not been implemented.
Yes, we see that…
Is there any plans to implement this? Because is quite useful…
I don’t see overlapping happening, but the other part about having a preference about which axis takes the most space could happen in 7.7
Will it happen?
Most likely it will. It is on the 7.7 list, that’s about the best I can give you at this point.
+1 for being able to choose precedence.
This hasn’t been forgotten and is still planned for 7.7
And for when is the 7.7 planned?
Hard to say this early. Probably early next year.
7.7 (beta) is here. What about this feature?
It’s been in since -beta1. Have you downloaded the beta and had a problem with this feature?

I don’t get it, Kyle. What are you trying to say? 
Yes, I was wondering the same thing
