Tracking bar reset after 16:9 monitor change? need help asap 3

[mustangman2001]

Hello, I've ran into a slight problem and I need to figure it out asap. Yesterday I got a new monitor (20" dell 16:9, from my 21" dell 4:3) and my old one was taken away.

well, everything seemed ok, but this morning I went to do a layout with curves in the drafting mode and couldn't see the tracking bar anywhere (the toolbar with the X,Y,X coordinates along with radius size and offset distance). I can see it ok when I'm adding curves in the modeling mode... but can't see it in drafting.

I tried resetting my layout (thus nuking my layout) and that didn't work. I'm pretty sure it's because the old monitor was running @ 1600X1200, where this one can only go to a maximum of 1680X1050. Does anyone have any suggestions to try and resolve it?

what a day already

thank you in advance

regards
-Steve

Reset Layout usually works. Not sure if that information is stored in the "user.mtx" file ? Just move the file, restart NX and see if the dialog reappears.

Have a look at this thread: thread561-162355. It has a link to a tip that may help.
