Prospector Buttons

Hey Folks, 

Quick question regarding Prospector Customization. When I used to edit pipe networks the network/parts list used to appear below my data references. It randomly started appearing to the right. I have limited room to the right of my screen which is why it is extremely useful for it to appear below as far as drafting efficiency. How do I fix this? Please see attached image for clarity. Thanks!

 

p.s. I have tried right-clicking and moving it several times but it seems to move the entire prospector.

Above the dropdown showing Active Drawing, there is a button is highlighted. Press it and it will toggle the list view down below the tree.

That button does fix that issue but now the prospector is gone. How can I
get it so that the prospector is still an active window open and that stays
below?

What do you mean by gone? 

 

Is the grid gone and you need to make it bigger? If so you can move the mouse to the bottom of the screen and get the up/down arrow to show up and then move it up.

If the tab is missing completely you can type PROSPECTOR at the command line it will toggle the prospector tab on and off.

The button that you mentioned that was highlighted, are you referring to
the prospector button within the palettes ribbon? When I click that the
prospector turns off and in my window and the drawing "settings" toolbar is
all that is left. In the settings toolbar that space is now below again but
as soon as I click the button to get the prospector back the window goes
off to the side again.

Totally misread the first step and clicked the wrong button, that's where I went wrong haha. This worked perfectly fine, sorry for the confusion!
