Solved!
Go to solution

I'm trying to open the coordinates window in the VIEW tab. but when I click in the coordinates tab in the top ribbon, the coordinate sub-window does not show up. Any suggestions on what could be causing this issue?

Do you have a multi-monitor setup? If you sometimes work on a multi-monitor setup, the window may show up on the 2nd monitor and not be visible to you.

 

Try this code to enable the Coordinate Window and display it at a specific location on the main screen.

 

Call View.CoordinateWnd.SetPos(300,300)
View.CoordinateWnd.Visible = TRUE

 

Hope that helps,

Thanks Otmar, that code helped. I do have multiple monitors, but for some reason it was on a mysterious third monitor. I also found that limiting your set-up to only display on one monitor will bring the window back from the oblivion. Thanks again!
