Command finder not visible when selected

Command finder not visible when selected

(OP)
Hello all,
   I have recently migrated to NX6 from ProE and have been using the command finder to assist in the transistion.  I noticed that I am inable to use this tool because it is not visible on my screen after selection of the button.  I see the prompt to enter the word or phrase but that is all I see.  Is there an option to turn this option off that I have inadvertently selected?  i have restarted NX a dozen times and it still does the same thing.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Dave

RE: Command finder not visible when selected

Can you show us a screen shot of what the command finder looks like after you select it?
I assume you are picking it from the icon.
Maybe try to go  Help > Command Finder
and see if that changes anything.
I use that function all the time too without any problems.

That is totally weird.
I don't know what can cause that, but I will see what I can find out.

RE: Command finder not visible when selected

Because the Command Finder is actually a separate window and NOT a dialog (that's so that it can be opened without having to cancel an existing dialog) it can also get 'lost', meaning that it could have been dragged off screen and therefore you should try performing a...

Preferences -> User Interface -> Layout

...and in the 'Settings' section select the 'Reset Window Position' button and see if it comes back on screen.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

... or maybe it is off the screen someplace. If you are using two screens that may be an issue too (but I am not sure of that)

RE: Command finder not visible when selected

I'll have to look into this and get back to you.
