My screen has gone mad?

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 11:52:38 GMT

Hi,
ok, so this is a bit embarrassing.. but I was moving my publish palette across the screen and this happened (see image).. and I'm completely lost!
I cant seem to minimize or even make the palette smaller. And I can't see where I am/what I'm doing.

Does anyone know how to get my screen back to normal?
I have tried to go work environments and applied the standard setting and that doesn't help.

I'm working on a PC with Vista and in Archicad 13

Svensdotter,

Have you tried closing windows and/or palettes and reopening them? Use the Window menu to change settings on your screen, such as Full Screen or Full Screen & Hide Palettes and then reverting again.

If that does not help, you could try resetting your work environment. Hold Alt key and go to File>New>New & Reset All.

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+N

HTH

Also, if you go to the Work Environment Dialog, go to Palette Schemes and apply the Standard Palettes 13 scheme it will revert back to default palette positions.

I've tried resetting the work environment to the standard profile, also tried closing all palettes and reopening.. nothing seems to work. It closes the palettes but they open up just the same again.
it is really strange.. never seen nothing like it before. Any other tips on what it could be?

Maybe you should delete ArchiCAD preferences.
Check this article on how to do it:
