Try this AKN, that shows how to reset back to main screen,  I suspect this is what has happened.

Hi @pendean ,

 

NO, I tried to check all my 3 screens, but I get this:

right click:

eyalch_1-1660226071772.png

but it will not open even when I unpluged the other screen and left only with the laptop screen.

Also, I tried to restart windows explorer with no use.

I can't open it.

What to do?

thank you

You need to reset the coordinates for mT in the ASsettings file, as shown on the FAQ link

Read the Knowledge article , it gives explanation of where the file is and how to edit or delete it.

that file is created  when you open AS for the first time.

Close Advance Steel then delete the ASSettings_User.xml, then reopen Advance Steel.

You will need to enable hidden files and folders, under windows to see program data, it is not in program files.

A few comments on this thread following my experience in the new(er) version of the software (2024):

1. The file path was as attached in the screenshot below,

2. There is a '-' (negative/minus) sign in front of the coordinates in my case, I thought it was just a dash, but it actually moved the coordinates to the negative side of X and Y axis. After removing the '-' the (100,100) coordinate works quite well

3. In my case the application (AS) did not have to be restarted to see the changes. Just save the file (maybe close it too) and run "Mgt Tools" again, should display the window with updated coordinates
