Dual Monitors

[Anonymous]

I have a Matrox Millenium dual-head g450 video card. How can I set up LDD3
so I can have all my Toolbars on display2 and the dwg area on display1? How
do I set this up so i can assign displays to applications. For example Word
+excel to Display 2 and Outlook to Display 1?

Any ideas.

Thanks,
Todd

The short answer for LDD3 is "You can't".

AutoCAD and its vertical products are not Multi Display aware. You can move
the tool bars to the other Display, but you will have to do it every time
you open LDD.

And as far as I know, the Matrox Cards don't allow you to assign Appications
to Displays. The only cards I have seen that can do this are NVidia cards,
and other cards along and above that class. But I could be wrong.

So the short and sweet of it is, you open the application, and then move it
(or it's tool bars) to the appropriate display.

Hope that helps,
CMF

well you can get various utilities that will allow you to place your
toolbars and lock them there- quick pik is one i think- and there might be
others-

so it is possible- the only problem i run into is that new dialogs pop up in
the seam line of the 2 monitors- but not a major issue-

so yes it is possible- i do it every day-

I suppose I stand corrected.

Thanks for catching my slip up.

I am using a G450. Normally the applications remember which monitor
they were on last. Also take a look at the Matrox QuickDesk/MultiDesk
application that came with it. It's nice to have multiple desktop
configurations. You can designate whether applications appear on a specific
desktop or on all desktops and you can set up a hotkey to toggle between
desktops.

I use two monitors on Win 2k, one is a 21" and the other a 17". I use a dual
head nvidia card. Everything stays put but it is a little bit of a pain to
get setup even more so with two different size monitors because you are
limited to the resolution of the smaller one. The problem is deciding
between Windows native dual mode or software driven dual mode in my case
Nview which has four different configuration options. Having the taskbar on
one monitor is an option just as maximizing application to monitor or
desktop is an option depending on how you are configured. I also use Quikpik
but it isn't absolutely necessary.

I am hoping this is the correct group to post this.
I have just upgraded to using dual monitors on my Dell system.
We are running ADT R-3.3.
My problem/question is this;
How or where do I control where my dialogue boxes pop up?
It seems that some pop up in the lower right corner of my left monitor (no
matter what).
And some will remember where I dragged it to last time and pop up there.

Any suggestions?

Thank you
Michael

If you are running ADT, you cannot set where the dialogs pop up
without some middleware utility. AutoCAD/ADT records dialog positions
based on pixels, but does not enumerate monitors.

Basically, under Windows, both screens are merged into one virtual
screen so your resolution on two 1280x1024 monitors is really
2560x1024.

But, if AutoCAD records a dialog position at coordinate 2230, 40,
something in the program knocks it back to what would fit on a single
1280x1024 screen.
