Multiple monitor issue new to Rhino 8 - moving panels

[wim (Wim Dekeyser)]

Hi Heath -

@heath

FYI, just installed the latest V8 and the issue persists.

I’ll send you a few previous versions.

@heath

I do a command, hit undo, and it says nothing to undo.

For that issue, please see the following post and provide feedback in that thread:

Rhino 8, Undo Not Working

Or even better. Run the AuditUndo command. [image] This text can be copy and pasted. Also the information given by TestCurrentUndo would be helpfull.

Note the AuditUndo and TestCurrentUndo commands.

Thanks! Got the links. If I uninstall V8, will I lose my settings, or will everything come back just the way I had it? I’m super busy right now and saving settings and setting up Rhino all over again is outside my time limits at the moment. thanks

Uninstalling doesn’t mess with the settings.

As always, though, you should have a backup of important files. In this case, that would a copy of the following folder:

%appdata%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0

Mitch created a script for a one-click backup:

V8 settings backup (Rhino for Windows only)

So, I’ve been toying around with a script to make a one-click backup of my entire settings folder as well as any .rui files I have. That way if anything goes south, I just have to close Rhino replace the settings folder and .rui files with the backup versions and I’m back to running again. Hopefully this will never be necessary, but… A few caveats: This is Windows V8 only, as I have no idea where settings and .rui files actually reside in Mac Rhino. You will need to change the destination …

Has anyone had a chance to looked at the [related] issue of the floating tools/panels not keeping their position on Mac with SideCar [iPad]?

Since it’s [i’d imagine] uses different connection tech then a regular monitor… it might not be the same fix as with the OP ?

thanks a lot

Ah, my third monitor is also using a different connection than the other two (and is a different resolution)

[heath]

And the same issue is in the last V9 WIP I installed (9.0.24352.12305, 2024-12-17). Not sure if it was there before, didn’t try floating a toolbar on another window in V9 before.

My installation updated to Version 8 SR18 this morning and the multi monitor floating panel issue appears to have been fixed. Thank you!!!

[heath]

OMG IT IS INDEED FIXED!!! Oh, this will be so much better. Thanks Team McNeel!
