Maximize/Minimize Application Window in NX Question
Maximize/Minimize Application Window in NX Question
(OP)
This probably is the dumbest question to ask, but I am going ask anyway.
I minimized the application window(say in modeling) to let say 2" x 4". The reason was to quickly using the Snipping Tool in Windows to get the screen shot of the model that I need to send to a customer. I think I didn't re-save the file since no changes were made.
The next time I open any NX files(drawing, modeling, manufacturing), the application window always is in 2" x 4" size, not the maximized window that should be.
I couldn't figure out where the settings that I messed up or something.
Any helps are appreciated.
Using NX 10.

Or I am the only one has this issue due to some setting changes that I am not aware of.
RE: Maximize/Minimize Application Window in NX Question
Use the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and delete the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\NX\10.0\Layout
The image below should explain what I mean. Make sure NX is closed before doing so.

That fixed the issue.
RE: Maximize/Minimize Application Window in NX Question
NX 9.0.3.4
NX 11.0.2.7 (Testing)
Windows 7 (Windows 8.1 Tablet)
RE: Maximize/Minimize Application Window in NX Question
Is toggled off, NX will not save the window size at exit. ( It must have been ON to save the 2x4 when that happened.)
We used in our training facilities turn this setting off after a initial start. ( - the students where using the same user account on that specific computer)
Probably, in the example that Anthony shows above, it could be sufficient to delete the key "Main" from the right panel.
( NX will create new keys upon the next start.)
