Shortcut to open viewport?

bruno2

Hi everyone, before updating the DAZ to version 4.20, I was able to use the viewport in a windowed mode, with options to minimize, maximize and close, like a normal window. After the update, I have only the option to close. I like to use the viewport very big in my screen, but the way it is right now, I need to move the viewport window to left or right, to be able to manage other things such as timeline, etc. I was even considering the option of doing a downgrade on my DAZ because of this.

If the viewport windowed is not possible anymore, is there some kind of shortcut to open the viewport window instead of clicking on Window -> Panes (Tabs) -> Viewport.

Thanks

Yes... well shortcut of Fullscreen of Viewport is Shift + F11... shortcut of opening Viewport is Alt + F2 but the Viewport window won't dock to the pane group automatically, you still need to double-click on its 'Title' (move your mouse to the top of Window till the cursor turns into a cross) to maximize and dock it.

I myself rarely close the Viewport but another way I usually use is: First assign a shortcut to 'Select Layout' in F3 ( Workspace - Select Layout ), e.g. F6, then save a Layout of your workspace and load it once. If Viewport is gone, lost or in a mess, just press F6 and Enter...

Thanks crosswind, I think the Shift + F11 tip will help me more in this scenario, however, I still would love to see in the future, DAZ 3D return the option to make the viewport as a normal window, it was good before, but they removed this feature.

Yea ~~ if we're lucky enough, we might see it when DS leaps to next 'big version'
