UI not remembering position

fpatry — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 20:22:45 GMT

Just changed workstation and installed Autocad 2025 on Windows 11. I have a triple monitor setup (3 identical monitors). I set up all my toolbars (ribbon, properties, layers, tool palettes, xref) on both screens on each side of the main monitor. Then save the UI and exit. When I reopen Autocad, not a single toolbar remembered its postion and are scattered all over. Redid this about a dozen times, with the main window maximized or floating. Nothing sticks. Loosing patience...any ideas?

Thanks!

1) Explain the spread of the program across all three screens please, or share a screenshot from each screen.
2) Can you specially call out the commands and functions you used for "save the UI"?
3) Which workspace is this?
4) is your Windows11 log-in of the restricted type (popular with IT in larger firms)?
5) From inside your AutoCAD2025, share a screenshot of the ABOUT command pop-up please.

Hi Pendean, thanks for responding.

I actually found the culprit, it was my 4th monitor that has a lower resolution. Though that same setup didnt cause any issue in Windows 10.

But thanks again.

I had to remove my 4th monitor. I tried to mess around with scaling, but that didnt do anything. I've been working with multi monitor setups for ages (remember the Matrox cards?) and don't remember having issues with different resolutions. The same behavior was happening in 3dsmax also.
