PDM Works - takes over my screen

PDM Works - takes over my screen

PDM Works - takes over my screen

(OP)
I'm running a pilot PDS scheme for a few projects before I commit it to my company's system and one of the things that's started to annoy me is the fact that with the Feature Manager, Model Tree and PDM windows open there's virtually no room to view the model!

I know the easy answer is buy a new monitor (I'm using an 18" flat screen) but I'm really just interested to see if it annoys anyone else?

Cheers,

Simon

RE: PDM Works - takes over my screen

Can't you grab the verical edge of the window and drag/resize to where you want them?
Also, I have heard that some flat/LCD monitors have trouble with CAD graphics.

Re-sizing the windows helps but I just find myself contantly toggling back and forth with the little navigator arrows which takes ages.

Maybe I just need a 28" screen...

Check out Activault, it is around still, and they've just put out a new version.
