Inventor hanging issue

I'm having an issue, if I try to do some actions that require a secondary window to open, the program hangs, and will only start running when I hit escape. This happens when I press 'New', and when I try to replace model reference. It seems that it opens the window, but it doesn't appear anywhere on my computer, even when I alt+tab.

Welcome to the forum, Max.  Can you share what version of Inventor you are using, and some details about your work station setup?  Thanks.

Hi!

Sometimes, when we use more then one monitor, after disconnect the extra monitors some windows open outside of the main monitor... "as if they are opening in a phantom monitor".

 

If you think that "new window" is opening outside your monitor, do this:

  1. Open the action (new file, replace, etc)
  2. Click ALT+SPACE+M at the same time
  3. Click one of the direction arrow key
  4. Move your mouse to bring the window to your monitor (don't press any mouse key, just drag)
