In the process of editing annotation styles under the document properties window, I tried to delete a selected style. As Rhino processed this, the individual style editing window disappeared and now I cannot proceed. If I click anywhere, my computer dings at me as if I need to select a prompt from another window - which does not show up anywhere in my list of task windows on my PC.
I feel as the only way to proceed would be to force quit the program.
As the file has not auto-saved for about 3hrs, I am desperately trying to avoid loosing valuable time & work.
Hi Emily -
I suppose you have moved on by now…
There are no clear steps for me to try and reproduce what was going on on your system, but, yes, it sounds like a dialog box got hidden behind something else. Are you working on two monitors? Did you try switching to a different application and back to Rhino?

Hey Wim -
Yes unfortunately, the only way I could proceed was to end the program through my task manager.
In terms of monitors, I am using a laptop hooked up to a monitor for dual screens - I did first try to disconnect the screen to force the application to move to the laptop screen & still could not see the dialog box. So I then changed the connected monitor to be the only source of display to move everything back to the monitor & still no progress.
It seems as though the dialog box may have been behind the rhino model window? (which was locked)
My only savior was a tip on stored backup files -
Apparently when working from a shared box folder, the autosave files get saved into the recycling bin for some reason. So as I thought I had no autosave files, but I did in fact have them but just needed to dig them out of the trash.
Not sure if the autosave issue is a compatibility issue with box? Have you heard anything similar regarding this?
I’m not sure what you mean by box, but the default behavior is that the latest autosave file pushes the previous version to the recycling bin, yes.
