When you place a component or use a tool that includes an accessory component or feature, you can open the accessory component in a new window, even if it is already open in another window. An accessory window can be docked in the graphics window or opened separately.

By default, a docked accessory window opens to manage components during the following operations:

You can reposition and resize the window. Adjust the model view and the window view using commands on the shortcut menu. The docked accessory window contains the Graphics toolbar. A Model Tree opens below the assembly Model Tree.

By default, all other accessory operations, such as user-defined feature creation and Mechanica post-processing, use a separate window.
