Base view missing command tab

[Anonymous]

Hi all!

I'm working on Inventor 2016 and i have to do a drawing but the base view command tab doesn't appear when i click on it (as in the image attached). This also happens with the iProperties tab. 

Thank you!

Have you installed all Service Packs and Updates?

Have you been using two monitors (could it be off of the edge of the screen)?

i guess so, last week i worked normally with drawings and all the commands.

No, i only use my laptop.

Sergio,

Welcome to the forum.

Are you talking about this not showing up?

If so, is it possible if you are using a laptop it is hidden behind your main Inventor screen?  I sometimes will disconnect my laptop from the docking station which is connected to 2 monitors and use the single flip up screen attached to the laptop.  Clicking through and on programs, sometimes windows don't show up because they are either hidden behind other windows or off screen because they were previously on the second monitor.

If this solved your issue please mark this posting "Accept as Solution".

Or if you like something that was said and it was helpful, Kudos are appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Hi sa.rivas219,

To add to what Cadmanto and JDMather said:

Maybe the dialog is coming up off screen, as described at this link:

See that link for how to get it back.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Hi sa.rivas219,

Maybe the Inventor Reset Utility will fix it.
