New Window Outside Of Main Window

[matt_jlt]

Is there any way to open a new window of your model that is not inside the main window of inventor? 

I have two monitors and would like to be able to have another window / view open on the other monitor.

Thanks, Matt.

Hi Matt,

This isn't possible out of the box in the product directly, each view has to reside inside the main Inventor frame.

One suggestion you can try is to host a View in a floating modeless dialog using View.HWND and relying on some Win32 APIs for example, but I'm sceptical about it...

Here is a link that might be useful:
