The save as mesh menu appears partially off screen

lcemoore — Sat, 17 Feb 2024 14:38:31 GMT

At some point in the last 6-8 months, an update resized the "save as mesh" menu with the bottom 1/4 of the menu off screen at the bottom. This in addition to the having to select "over-right" for existing files twice is a little frustrating. There doesn't appear to be a way of resizing the menu at my end, nor is there a setting to control how the over-right file process is controlled.

Am I missing something.

As the Animated GIF shows, left click and drag on the top of the dialog box until the green line appears and then let go of your left mouse button. You can then hover over the lower right corner to size it further is desired.

Sorry, I actually was speaking about the "Save as" dialog box that opens after you select OK from the "Save mesh" dialog box. But thanks for you animation. It works as advertised for the "Save Mesh" dialog box, but not for the

"Save As" dialog box.

This has been the case forever. You will have to left click and drag on the top of the Save As dialog and move it up each time. I find once I move it up, it stays in that position until the application is closed for any other time I use the Save As command.

In my case the dialog does not stay positioned. For instance, if I save 5 mesh objects from a project, I have to

drag the dialog up 5 times to access the OK button and have to click OK to over right existing files 10 times. There must be something different about my installation.

I've been using fusion for at least three years and when saving mesh files, until recently, I only had to click OK to overnight files one time and didn't have to drag the dialog box upward. I kind of remember the height of the dialog increased at the same time but can't say that for sure. I suppose it could also be a windows issue, but if so, fusion is the only application where I have these problems.

Back in my programming days, a dialog off screen problem was usually related to not accounting for all possible screen aspect ratios, but I would be surprised if that is the case here.

Anyway thanks for your comments.
