Text Style Pop-Up not showing up

mriches21 — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 10:25:50 GMT

Hi All,

I have just got a new laptop and have previously run it with 2 x monitors (3 screens all up incl. laptop). I have now switched to 1 x monitor and laptop.

When opening the dimension style manager and modifying text, I go to open the text syle pop-up to change height. This pop-up is opening, however it is not showing up on the screen anywhere? It's like my laptop thiks there are still 3 screens and is opening to a location that does not exist - or behind the acad window...

I have made sure my display settings are correct - see attached. I have also tried holding the shift key, right clicking on autocad on the task bar and moving - however, this does not work as the text syle pop-up blocks it.

Has anyone experienced this problem and can help out?

Thanks

Hi,

the dialog SHOULD appears centered on your dimstyle dialog, scary.

Please try it on all 3 monitors (place the dimension style dialog to monitor1, press the [...] style button., monitor2, monitor2 the same..

Is it the same with command STYLE ? Because it is the same dialog window (and your workaround to reach the dialog),

but it should appear centered on the application window.

It is doing the same thing with command style. It opens (I know it's opening because I can't manouvre around my screen without hearing a prompt that something is open), however it's like it is opening behind the acad window.

Have tried on every monitor.

Very frustrating!

Start STYLE

Press and hold [SHIFT]+[WIN]

press one time ArrowKey [<-] and one mor and one more ... can you see the dialog now?

[ALT]+[SPACE]

[M]

ArrowKey [<-]

and now move your mouse around

No Luck?

Sounds to be a focus problem and nothing you can do inside AutoCAD.

You migrated your old profile from your older setup didn't you? If yes, you'll need to do this https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-reset-AutoCAD-to-defaults.html
