Measure results off screen

Measure results off screen

Measure results off screen

(OP)
For some reason when I use the measure tool in large assys that I have zoomed into (I mean physical size not file size) the results are ALWAYS off screen as far as they will go and I have to use the mouse wheel till my fingers hurt to get them. I think SW knows and is trying to annoy me.
Anyone know how to get them to show in the screen where measured?
Thanks
Mick

Maybe L17's question had to do with seeing dX,dY,dZ, and CenterDist while zoomed in on a tiny point, without having to do a Zoom Extents the hard way...

... not with getting your window off the other monitor.

Maybe this?
L17:  See the down-pointing chevron (nested Vs) in your Measure mini-toolbar?  Click that, and the information is displayed in a pane right there.

Or maybe not.  I thought it opened up that way by default.

Thanks guys. The mini toolbar will be OK for now.
