Dialog boxes not shown when adding a joint/member in Precede


Problem Description

When the ‘Precede’ program is started with a new model, if you try to ‘add a joint’ no ‘dialog box’ pops up; the same applies when one wants to add a member no ‘dialog box’ opens upon selection of the ‘add a member’ function.

 


Answer

This issue happens when a user changes from a double-monitor system to a single-monitor system.

Precede stores the last location of the dialog, and if it was on the second screen, it will have issues on a single screen.

You will need to reset the dialog's default location. Open Precede, then select the "Precede Settings" and then check the "Reset dialog boxes to default locations" checkbox.
