Hello All,
Lately I have not been able to access my management tools. When i click on the tool button it appears to open but the screen is blank. Also sometimes (more frequently then not) when I close down a drawing file it just crashes for no apparent reason. I have tried to repair and reinstall a couple of times with no change. I want to avoid a complete uninstall and reinstall. Any suggestions to a fix other then a complete uninstall and reinstall would be great.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve
Sometimes the AS settings can get corrupted and place the MT window off your screen.
In
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance Steel 2018\GBR
or
C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance Steel 201* (version)
Backup the file: ASSettings_User.xml
Open the file in notepad and scroll to the bottom.
You will see these lines:
<Key Name="ManagementTools">
<Value Name="X" Type="DWORD32">97</Value>
<Value Name="Y" Type="DWORD32">77</Value>
<Value Name="SizeX" Type="DWORD32">1260</Value>
<Value Name="SizeY" Type="DWORD32">767</Value>
</Key>
The X and Y position settings on your system probably have some large numbers placing the window off screen.
You may have values something like this:
<Key Name="ManagementTools">
<Value Name="X" Type="DWORD32">-32000</Value>
<Value Name="Y" Type="DWORD32">-32000</Value>
<Value Name="SizeX" Type="DWORD32">1260</Value>
<Value Name="SizeY" Type="DWORD32">767</Value>
</Key>
Edit the file to some more sensible values like above
<Value Name="X" Type="DWORD32">97</Value>
<Value Name="Y" Type="DWORD32">77</Value>
...and save it.
When you re start AS and your MT, the window should now be visible.

Hello Forum,
I am new to Advanced Steel 2018 and looking to learn more about how it integrates with dynamo.
I am following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5J6QoRGyks
However when I launch my managertools.exe nothing opens...?
I have tried the solutions presented here but no luck.
I appreciate your advice.
Thank you!

To update this topic the management tool appears when I enter the command_ASTM11CommStartGAM.
To be clear there is no button in my ribbon to launch this management tool interface. Not sure if this is by design or a bug with my install...

If you are working on a laptop with multiple screens, and an extra screen is the main monitor (in order to have the search Filter work properly), you might have to switch your laptop screen to main monitor first.......
