Disappeared/moved toolbars after disconnect mainscreen from docking station

[sander.van.pelt]

Hello everybody,

I still use the old-fashioned toolbars because I personally find the ribbon too big, I have all the functions I use at hand via my toolbars and I prefer to have my drawing screen as large as possible.

Now I only have one problem.
When I use my 24" screens, my entire own workspace is normally displayed correctly. Now these screens are connected to my 17.3" laptop via my docking station.
If I disconnect my laptop from this docking station, my AutoCad window of course jumps to my laptop screen.

But now the problem arises; in addition to my docked toolbars, I also use a few floating toolbars. 3 on the right side of my screen and 1 at my top left corner.
The 3 on the right side appear in a larger scale than on my 24" screens on top of each other (not above each other) on the right side of my 17.3" screen and my 4th toolbar has disappeared.
But it is still checked under "toolbars".

If I change the orientation of this toolbar in the CUI menu from "floating" to e.g. "top", it does not become visible.
Not even if I have changed my variable "lockui" from 15 to 0.

If I now connect my laptop to the docking station, the toolbars remain on my 17.3" screen. After using "wscurrent", my 3 toolbars jump to another location, and again on top of each other, on my laptop screen (in their original scale now).

So I have to manually move these 3 back to my main screen and there is still 1 missing.

Why do my toolbars not jump back to my main screen after running "wscurrent" and how do I get the missing ones back?

Thank you

Ok may be the way to fix as where I used to work had laptops, set up the CAD as you want when no big screen add toolbars etc. Make  Profile ie arg file. You make a copy of your desktop icon, doing just that copy and paste to desk top, click icon2 and choose Properties, under General change name say "LAPTOP CAD", under start up change the profile name to the one you have exported. eg in civ3d default is <<CIV3D>>.  DBL clicking this icon should start with new profile.

Ok attempt 2 starting with the laptop only and all menu's set up, do workspace save enter say LAPTOP, make sure auto update is turned off. When you start the laptop just change your workspace the toolbars should be correct. Possibly easiest.

Either way will need to move toolbars before saving.

Sea-Haven set the direction.
Additional items to consider:
In the CUI assign the toolbar to be floating and tweak the coordinates. It is based on the top-left of the window.
As far a toolbars disappearing, there is a history of that where the draworder of the toolbar is lost. It is there, it's just under a window (current software or otherwise). Dual monitor the same issue.
WSAUTOSAVE to off.
Possibly try 2 profiles and switch between them (not available for LT).
S-H suggest resetting a profile and switching workspaces.
