ThatMNTishman Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 place another palette over top of it, hold down the option key and drag back into the center of the window. +1 for a modal window that fits big screens, iMacs and laptops. Do away with the ancient Apple palettes nightmare. Modo, Blender, C4D even Autodesk programs have left palettes for a workspace that adjusts.

Tech Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Dear Markus, Sorry you are having trouble. This issue could potentially occur on some systems if you are adding or removing monitors, or changing their resolutions while formZ is running. (Quitting formZ before doing this should work around that until you upgrade to formZ v8, where this should be corrected.) If you find any other way to do this, please let us know so we can prevent it from occurring. As Andrew notes -- to fix this, drag another palette on top of this palette, then hold down the Option key (Mac) or Ctrl Shift keys (Win) and you can drag both palettes together. Does this help you retrieve the palette? ---------- Another way to solve this would be to reset formZ to factory defaults. You can do this by Quitting formZ and renaming the autodessys folder. (Just add an X to the end of the name of the folder.) On Windows, this is located in C:\users\[uSER]\AppData\Roaming\ (Note that [uSER] is the name with which you log onto your computer, and if you don't see the App Data folder, you can show this by going to the Windows Explorer: Tools Menu: Folder Options: View Tab -- and choosing Show Hidden Files, and clicking OK.) On a Mac, this is located in HOME: Library: Preferences. (Note that HOME refers to Hard Drive: Users: your login name, and if you don't see a Library folder in this location, you can access it by going to the Finder: Go Menu, holding down the Option key -- and it will appear below HOME.) Don't forget to quit formZ first, and when you relaunch formZ it will automatically recreate a new autodessys folder with default settings. Then if you decide you no longer need the old autodessysX folder, you can delete that at any time. Does this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
