Spanning two monitors - SW2004 |
|
|
Hello,
Is there a way to span two monitors in SW2004? I want to be
able to move an open part from my primary monitor to the second
monitor, but it won't go. Other applications work fine (Photoshop, MS
Office apps, etc.)
Thanks!
Mike Tripoli

That may depend on what video card and drivers you're using. My QuadroFX
1100 on 67.22 In DualView mode just plain works on both monitors.
Maximizinga doc within SW even maximizes to the monitor, and not the whole
desktop spanning SW window. |

I have the same video card, and was using the 70.41(Beta) driver,
which I uninstalled and installed the "official"driver. Maybe I wasn't
clear; I can move the whole Solidworks "window" from one monitor to
the other; however, I cannot move just one "part" window from the
primary monitor to the secondary monitor. I can open two Word docs and
move one of the docs to the second window. I can move toolbars from
one monitor to the other in SW. I would like to have one part open on
the second monitor, for reference for instance, without having to
select back and forth between parts. Odd that moving the toolbars
works, but not moving part windows.
BTW, running DualView as well.

There are settings in hte drivers having to do with allowing child windows
to span multiple monitors. Maybe this is the problem. |

What about setting up the dual monitors in horizontal span. Maximize
Solidworks to cover both monitors, open the two part files, and tile
vertically. You may have to move your toolbars around to get the two
files to cover your monitors equally.
