Undocked browser behavior - Inventor 2014 + Windows 8

[nmunro]

Is anyone else seeing this? Open Inventor and a document and move it to your second monitor. Drag the browser away from the edge of the Inventor window until the outline appears as a separate window (undocked). When you release the mouse button does the browser jump back to the first monitor? Can you drag it onto the second monitor without docking it back in the Inventor window?

Yes, This is simular to the problem I had a year ago. I went to my Video Card setting and turned off "Dialog Repositioning".  For the AMD FirePro Control center, go to Desktop management and unclick the desktop box.

Good Success to you.

If this helped, please mark as solution or give Kudos, or both!

Thanks David but that is not the solution. Dialogs, for example the Extrude dialog box transfer without issue, it is only an issue with dockable windows in Inventor (i.e the browser). It is an AMD Radeon 6470M card in an HP8460 laptop.

Hi,

Unfortunately I cannot replicate the issue on my machine, everything works fine as expected. Maybe there is some setting in you graphic card that make this behavior happen. I would suggest to update your graphic card drivers and/or check if there is some strange settings activated in the graphic card control panel.

I see the opposite behaviour. When I try to dock to the edge of the second monitor it jumps back to the primary. I have to "fake it" by undocking it and placing it near the edge.

I find it easier to place the browser if I reduce to window the primary IV window. That keeps the browser from trying to re-dock itself.
