Dock
Introduction
The Dock section of the Alignment tab is used to easily adjust the variables on an instance for common layouts. All Dock options adjust the dimensions of the current instance, and most also adjust the position.
Keep in mind that docking an instance does not toggle a dock state, but rather modifies variables on the instance so that it has docking behavior. This distinction has the following consequences:
Docking behavior can be achieved by manually modifying variable - this tab does not add any additional behavior which is not already available through the Variables tab
Docking cannot be undone by toggling the dock button, and pressing multiple dock buttons results in multiple dock variables being assigned which may result in undesirable behavior. To undo docking, use the CTRL+Z shortcut for undo.
Dock types
This section lists all of the dock types, provides a visual examples, and lists which variables are modified.
