    Project Manager box locked in leftside of screen

    I haven't encountered this before. The project manager box is locked on the left of the screen, and there is no option to move it, only to close it (see pic). I went into the CUI and tried editing it under the pallettes section, but nothing changed. any thoughts?

    another note, i changed workspaces to the autocad electrical default, and the box is able to be moved again. for some reason, the 'acade & 2d drafting & annotation' workspace doesn't allow the project manager box to move in any way. Is that by design, anyone know?

    Did you try to Left Click and Drag on the Title Bar for that window? That is how I always move it.

    yes, if i try moving it, the mouse pointer just turns to a red circle with a line through it.

    That was all I had. Maybe someone from Autodesk can respond.

    Did you lock the position of your toolbars in the problem workspace.

     

    Look at the bottom left of the acade window. In the status box there should be a padlock.

     

    If the padlock is closed, you may have locked the positions. Right click and select the docked menu bars, then select unlocked.

     

    Now try and move the menu bar and see if that works. If all else fails, try unlocking ALL the items.
