Toon Boom-(Class-1) Workspace Functionality

Workspace Functionality

Toon Boom Studio is designed to be flexible enough to adapt to your computer setup as well as your personal flair, allowing you to customize your workspace. A workspace is a collection of information from the current user interface. The workspace contains information on all of the windows’ and toolbars’ positions and states.
Toon Boom Studio allows you to create, modify, and save an unlimited number of customizable workspaces in order to organize your project and optimize your work. For example, you may create a workspace that includes the Drawing View and Exposure Sheet for when you are drawing, and another workspace that includes the Camera View, Side View, Timeline and Function Editor for when you are animating. The workspaces that you create and save can be accessed no matter what project you are working on.
The active workspace is always denoted by a checkmark in the list of workspaces.
With Toon Boom Studio, you can:

•Select a Workspace
•Create a Workspace
•Save a Workspace
•Rename a Workspace
•Restore a Workspace
•Delete a Workspace
•Display Toolbars in the Workspace
•Customize the Workspace
•Reset the Workspace


Most of these commands can also be accessed through the Workspace drop-down button.
Select a Workspace
To select a workspace:
Select Window > Workspaces and click on the desired workspace. A checkmark appears next to the selected workspace.
Create a Workspace
To create a workspace:
Select Window > Workspaces > New Workspace. A Layout Name dialog box opens. Name your workspace and click on OK.
Note: When you create a workspace, it automatically takes on the layout that you were
using when you created it. If you had a workspace that had already been modified (i.e.,
you added and moved toolbars), the new workspace will include these changes.
Save a Workspace
To save the current workspace:
Make sure that the workspace that you want to save is the active workspace. Select Window > Workspaces > Save.
Rename a Workspace
To rename the current workspace:
Make sure that the workspace that you want to rename is the active workspace. Select Window > Workspaces > Rename.
Restore a Workspace
If you have modified and saved on of the default workspaces, you can return to its original layout with the Restore Workspace command.
To restore a workspace:
Select Window > Workspaces > Restore Workspace.
Delete a Workspace
To delete the current workspace:
Make sure that the workspace that you want to delete is the active workspace. Select Window > Workspaces > Delete. The default workspace is now displayed
