We recently upgraded to NX9 and have been getting used to the Ribbon Bars. Unfortunately a few users have come across the following problem.
Somehow their side bars and Assembly Navigators are now going from top to bottom, which in turn shortens the Ribbon Bar.
Is there a setting that can correct this? I've enclosed a screenshot of the problem and appreciate any help on this.

Using NX9.0.2.5
64 bit
Windows 7

I vaguely remember this issue coming up a while back. If you search the forum, you might find something useful.

Cowski,

Yes I searched the forum prior to posting. Usually I find answers to all my questions but I haven't found one to this one yet. But from what I have read about other similar issues, it sounds like I may need to access the registry file. Just was hoping for an easier alternative.
If anyone knows that I do need to go into the registry, where would I look?

Thanks for your help!
 
Ok, I found it...
Start the customize command, choose the layout tab, change the docking priority from vertical to horizontal and restart NX.

Thanks! I think my Customize may look different than yours but you got me in the right direction (file enclosed).
They had changed their setting to Graphics Window instead of NX Window. Probably experimenting with the new format.
again, thanks for all of your help!

I had 8.5 open and was tinkering with the settings, I didn't check the NX 9 dialog. Glad you found the corresponding setting.
