Inventor 2025 split surface additional dialog box

Good morning, I have a problem. While creating a split surface, the additional dialog box that would allow me to confirm the created surface does not appear. How can I find or enable it? Previously, it appeared without any issues.

Hi!

Do you mean this box?

Do you work with 2 (or more) monitors?

I have an old screenshot showing this window. After pressing the button to create a dividing surface, the window visible in the screenshot used to appear, but it no longer shows up despite using the Alt + TAB key combination.

I used to work with multiple monitors, but now I am using only one.

I found the solution. After activating the tool, I used the Alt + Space key combination, then selected the "Move" option and moved the dialog window to the main monitor.

This may be the issue. That window is outside your actual monitor, and it's in an "phantom" monitor, like you had a second monitor on.

To bring the window back to your actual monitor do this:

start the tool
click once: alt + space + M (all the same time)-----------in the video, The cursor become a cross
then click one of the direction arrows (this will catch the window, wherever it are)----------in the video, the cursor catch the window and become an arrow
then drag your mouse back to your monitor (just drag, don't click any button)-------------in the video, the window is already fixed to the arrow, just drag it to a visible place on your monitor

Here's an example (imagine the window is outside the monitor)
