Issue with Dual Monitor Screen Resolution
Issue with Dual Monitor Screen Resolution
(OP)
I'm using a laptop with an additional monitor. When I maximize NX on the monitor (1920 x 1200), it extends beyond the display. It seems to be using the resolution from the main display (1600 x 900). Other applications are not doing this. Any suggestions?

Can you give me "click by click" instructions?
I have 3 monitors, but let's start with the instructions on how to set up two monitors as a start.

There is no possibility in NX for configurating dual/tripple monitors.
Creating a dual/tripple monitor setup is done on the computers OS itself and is depending on which Graphical card / drivers you are using.
I did start a thread once on how to arrange the NX windows on a dual monitor setup.

Move you nx graphic window on the primary monitor, as (you can) defined in the graphic driver.
In most drivers there is a setting to open input boxes only on one connected monitor , this will center input boxes on another monitor , check this out.

uwam2ie - I found a setting that allowed me to specify what monitor applications launch on. This setting had no effect on the NX splash screen (which always opened on the primary display) but did open the main NX program on the specified monitor with the same issue.
Thanks for the help everyone. Unless I hear otherwise, I'm concluding the monitor that you want to view NX on should be set as the primary display.
RE: Issue with Dual Monitor Screen Resolution
I am aware of the OS setup of multiple monitors. I should have made my question more clear.
I would like to have an NX graphics window in each of 2 or 3 monitors.
That way, I can have a part open in one monitor, measure it, and use the info on another design that is open in another part that is being displayed in another monitor.
I know what you are thinking..."use dependant expressions for inter-part dimensions". I know how to do that...not interested in that right now.
Any help on how I can have an NX graphics window (with a part open) in each of 2 or 3 monitors?

That was the info I was looking for.
By the way, I'm back in an NX chair after 7 years absence, due to other jobs.
Glad to see you are still helping this community, John, just like when I left in '07.
