Occasionally, you may start a command, but nothing seems to happen. Often it is because you cannot see a dialog box that is opening, and it is off screen waiting for your input. This can happen from reducing resolution or going from two screens to one, or from bringing a laptop and hooking it up to different display devices.
There are two way to address this:
Option 1 - Move just one suspected 'lost' dialog box:
- Start the command in question
- Hold down the ALT key and press the Spacebar
- Let go and press the M button
- You can now use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the dialog (wherever it may be)
Once you use at least one arrow key to move it, you can then use the mouse to continue moving it.
Option 2 - Resetting all dialogs to display
In HydraCAD, use the Restore Default Dialog Locations tool in the HydraTools->Options menu. This will reset all of them at once!
