Cannot place component in schematic

nsbernar — Fri, 23 Dec 2022 22:57:49 GMT

Hello, I am using Win11 on a machine with these specs:
13900k

32 GB DDR5

ASUS Z790A
started a new design for the first time in a while and I found that I cannot place components. When I click the "Place Components" button, nothing happens and the area of the workspace where the tool should show up seems frozen. I have tried restarting Fusion and my PC and neither helped. What next steps can I take?

Thank you

@nsbernar , the "Add" dialog is replaced by a "Place Components" panel. Now it just actives that panel and you can double-click or drag a component into the editor.

Apologies, @yqliu I meant to say "Place Component". The whole panel that your top arrow points to does not show up for me, and that whole area of the screen is frozen.

Thank you

Can you restart Fusion, press "Ctrl + Alt +R” to reset the UI layout and try again？

That worked, thank you!
