Every once in a while (maybe daily), my dialog box goes missing. It’s not a choice in the toolbar display list. If I switch to a different instance of Rhino it will be there for that job, but if I switch back, there it isn’t. I can type commands & they work,… but I can’t see if it’s in the middle of a command or asking for something. Nor can I tell what number I have typed (can’t see if I missed a character etc).
Please & thanks!
Hi @bmosher, when you blindly type _Options is the checkbox beside the word Command prompt checked ?

@clement - Thank you! That restored it!
Any ideas on what might I be doing to cause it to go on holiday?
@bmosher, hard to guess. You could look in the _Options under Keyboard or Aliases if you probably have set up a shortcut for it to toggle it maybe ?

Ha - I am still grappling with how to create a line in Rhino. I am however, learning quite a bit by chasing the scent trail you put in front of me. I’m so focused on getting drawings out, I don’t have time t learn the software.
Thanks again!
In the end it will be faster if you take some time to learn the basics of the software. A good place to start is with the User’s Guide which is a tutorial on the basics of Rhino. Rhino User's Guide
Three things:
For what t’s worth - this disappearing dialog box thing is becoming a regular occurrence. I have to assume it’s related to my preference to have it float near the bottom of my screen (I wear cheater eyeglass’ and bottom of screen is important). A bit of a PTA, but now that I know how to bring it back I can keep working. Thinking about creating a button to turn it back on. I might also try letting it dock at the bottom, but I hate giving up that much space.
