Inventor pop ups / Menu Boxes Not Showing

[Josh_Hudson97]

Hi,

Does anyone else ever have the issue on Inventor 23 where they will create a drawing, press "Base View" and nothing happens? The command becomes active but the dialog box and view doesn't actually appear so you can't place a view? This is generally the one I notice it with, but it does seem to stop all of these type of boxes appearing. So when I create a drawing for example we have prompted field text that gets filled in this also doesn't appear when we have this issue. The fix we have it to close Inventor and reopen it but, it's obviously annoying to do so.

Most likely the prompts are outside of the display area (happens often when you dock/undock laptops with secondary monitors).
Try this: use your keyboard to press ALT+SPACE, release, press 'M' key, release, press any directional arrow, release, then move your mouse around without clicking to bring the prompt back into your display area.

Ok thanks @Gabriel_Watson! As I can't recreate the issue on demand, next time it happens we'll try that 👍
