    Dialog Boxes Off Screen

    ​

      Product(s): ProStructure/ProSteel
      Version(s): N/A
      Area: Connection
      Subarea: N/A
    Original Author Bentley Technical Support Group

    Problem:

    When you open a dialog box the dialog box will disappear.  The problem is the dialog box is still opened somewhere and is waiting for input.

    Solution:

    If you Right Mouse Button (RMB) over the desktop you can select "nView Properties", which brings up a dialog box for "nView Desktop Manager".

    Select the "Windows" tab. 

     Window control:

          Prevent windows from opening off-screen": ENABLE (checked)

     Dialog box repositioning:

          Reposition dialog boxes on: Move to application display

          Center dialog box on display: ENABLE (checked)


    Suggested Answer: RE: Dialog Boxes Off Screen by Johannes Michalowsky

    Many Thanks,

    Also, please delete all files with content  *wnd* (Wnd=Window)., when it happens, in

    For Power ProStructures (V8i)

    Drivename:\Program Files\Bentley\ProStructures\V8i_S6\AutoCAD 201x\Localised\Country setting you used\Temp\Metric 

    For Prostructures on Microstation its in

    Drivename of installation:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures V8i S8\WorkSpace\ProStructures\Localised\Country setting you used\Temp\Metric

    For Prostructures CONNECT Edition its in

    Drivename of installation:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Bentley\ProStructures\10.0.0\prefs\Personal_WndCfg

    That sets all dialog to default position, as those files store the dialog positions.

    It´s mostly needed to delete these files when you switch monitors or resolution.

    Or use some extra downloadable Tools, there is a tool include that resets all dialogs to default position.
