    wayward toolbar

    This is probably a windows question but does anybody know how to permenantly dock a toolbar?

    I inadvertantly dragged my toolbar across the screen. Now, every time I go back to that window the toolbar repositions itself across the screen in the new location.

    I dragged the toolbar back to its original location, but it does not remain there when I go to a different window and come back.

    Anybody got any ideas?

    Thanks.

    I think it is a long standing problem. Try opening the type of file that you are having
    trouble with the toolbar in , and then place it, and now close inventor. I don't think it
    gets written to the registry until Inventor closes.

    jwmann, I've lived with that for about 3 weeks now and it is VERY frustrating. I tried to do what Kent recommended but didn't have any success, did you? Jason

    Sometimes that still does not work.  This was
    an issue in 5, said it was to be fixed in 5.3 and now 6 still has the
    issue.  Sometimes the will just not stay in place.  Play around with
    configurations and eventually you'll find one that will stick (and then one day
    a few months down the road it will magically unstick
    <rolleyes>)
