I use a laptop and change locations and each location has a different monitor setup. Dialog windows are always popping up out of view because Inventor uses the last location of the window, even if it will appear off screen in the current monitor set up. This happens with Vault as well. It would be nice if these dialog windows would open where they can be seen.
I have the feeling I keep shifting Dialogs where I want them, an the next time I open the dialog again, it' again at it's Old place.. either I'm miunderstanding you, or I have the exact opposite problem.
Have both situations and understand the issue when unplugging and plugging in other monitors. Real pain w/ moving them, then next time restart IV and some of the dialogs revert back to original place. Mainly the home or start up screen. I run IV on my 2nd monitor, but the home screen always reverts back to my laptop screen. Just with a restart of IV, not unplugging the 2nd monitor.
I have a similar issue, vault dialogs will sometimes take mouse focus from Inventor, but appear behind the main Inventor window. Alt-Tab will not cycle through and display the dialog box, so I have to use Task Manager to close Inventor. This usually happens when I let Inventor run on the right screen and use email or some other program on the left screen.
Make all the dialog boxes show up with Alt-tab so I can bring them to the front. That way I can respond to the box, not just close Inventor.
@patricksalvador and others, multi-monitor support was supposedly added in Inventor 2016 as described here. However, I have yet to see any positive differences from this "support". Everything listed in Dan's comment already functioned fine before the support was added, except for the "always on top" functionality which has nothing to do with "multi-monitor" support anyway. As described here, however, several fantastic bugs did occur as a result of this "support".
But all that said, I wanted to ask if the issue brought up in this Idea was perhaps fixed in Inventor 2016 with this multi-monitor support?
This would have been an ideal issue to tackle in relation to multi-monitor support. If it wasn't, I honestly am not sure what multi-monitor functionality was actually Implemented with that "support" in 2016.
Working on a laptop in different offices i work on several multi-screen systems, as well as just my laptop. When i move to just my laptop, dialogue boxes (checkout, copy design, errors etc.) do not display on the screen, they are off to the side somewhere and find it hard/impossible to get them back, or show on a different screen.
Can an addition be made that the checkout/option/error/copy design etc. message appear on the same screen that the vault client is displayed on?
There is an increasing number of Vault users who are now switching to remotely working from home . Away from their normal place of work. They are disconnecting their workstations from the normal monitors and finding that some Vault dialogs are not appearing as they are used to. For some they are describing the experience as Vault is hanging or freezing. For some this could add to an already stressful time.
The solution is relatively easy and documented in this article.
This is incredible to see in 2021 in a software like and discover that all popups positions are stored in an XML file....
For me what you should do, is simply to open the popup windows in the middle of the screen where the software is located. Simple to manage and to develop and simple to understand for the end users.... In that case, only the size can be store in the xml file, not more and of course, if the size of the popup is to high comparing to the size of the screen put it on the left... That's it!
I don't even know if another window is open since it doesn't even show the dialog boxes when you alt tab. I've been trying to close out of inventor files for 10 mins now and am unable to get any response. None of the comments are helpful. This is a weekly occurrence for me.
When moving between different screen setups dialogues retain the last used co-ordinates which may well be off visible screen of currently connected monitors. Dialogues should recentre if there current position is not visible, to save a lot of user frustration and r
I don't think this is an huge thing to implement, the minimum is to remove this useless storage of the popups windows location in the file and then open the popup in the middle of the window where the main interface is opened. So I assume this can be done in 1 m/day during the software upgrade. So why waiting for this minor but very disapointed choice. A lot of users are complaining about this?
