Hi,



I seem to be having some issues running ArchiCAD 12 with 2 monitors.

I have a MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, GeForce 8600M 256MB vram).

When I am hard at work at my desk, I have the system connected to 2 monitors to enlarge my virtual workspace. I place my Project Navigator and other tool palettes on the second monitor. Works great.

When I'm working elsewhere, away from my desk, or I otherwise do not have access to that second monitor, ArchiCAD does not appear to be smart enough to realize there's only 1 screen, and my palettes are all gone. Toggling them on and off doesn't bring them up. Restarting ArchiCAD doesn't help. (Typically, ArchiCAD isn't running when I unplug the external monitor.) The palettes are obviously still on that 2nd monitor, despite the fact that its no longer connected.

This also happens with the pop-up (for dragging, etc) as well as the tracker.

New windows (views and layouts) will reposition themselves, although the aspect ratio is per the monitor they were last on.

Any ideas? Glitch in the program, or is there a way to reset to default positions for all the palettes?



Any help will be apprecited.



I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
