Navigator

I am working in ArchiCAD 13 and all of a sudden, every time I put in s command, and then press return my navigator block disappears. HELP

Check your shortcut in Work Environment. Maybe it helps

Right click between icons on top of the navigator and deselect "Hide navigator" menu. I guess that should solve it.

OK...I've been using AC since...I can't even remember--v4? Where the h*ll did this come from?? How many nights did the code wonks sit up thinking this idiocy up and figuring out how to hide it? Mind boggling.

And just for the record, I have never ripped GS or AC, but out of the blue this bug reared its ugly head today and PISSED ME OFF.

Now I feel better.

I have been using Archicad since 6.5 and there has always been the option to pin the Navigator/Quickviews palette to the screen or have it auto-hide.
So it is nothing new.

I don't doubt that. And in theory, it's OK (for the days of single 13" screens). But could it be any more hidden? It's well hidden in the help docs, too. I haven't found it yet. And I sure wasn't aware that I did anything to change the setting--after 10+ years of using the program one day the palette disappears??

It gets mentioned in the "Oranizer Palette" section - page 277 of PDF reference guide.
Listed in the index under "Auto-hide".
But of course you need to know what it is called to search for it.

I'm not sure why it would suddenly auto-hide after so long unless you accidentally managed to right click at the top of the palette.
Then the auto-hide option pops up right where your mouse is.
One more click there and it is set.
Could be possible to do if you weren't watching closely.
I have done it before.

Can't prove that I didn't activate it, but I'm not a new kid on the block. I'd say I didn't. If there was a keyboard shortcut set, I could see mistakenly hitting keys, but right clicking with a pet palette popping up--Naaah.

A pet peeve of mine is a manual with lousy search capability. The AC help is such an animal.

I agree! Very difficult to find anything.
