Dual Monitors & Dialogue Boxes

Its a bug!!!!!
My guess is you are using a dual screen setup - REVIT DIALOG BOXES ONLY WORK PROPERLY ON THE 'PRIMARY' MONITOR (not the second one) - ALSO MOUSE WHEEL ONLY WORKS PROPERLY WITHIN REVIT ON 'PRIMARY' MONITOR AS WELL

(oops - sorry about uppercase screaming, no time to retype - deadline!!)

alexpage, you are the man!!! I have been beating my head into the wall trying to figure this out for days! I've been working on my bigger screen so I could see things better and that is it. I can quit reinstalling Revit and hating my computer now. Thank you thank you thank you.

Have a great day. Isn't Revit wonderful?

lafe....if you fiddle with your display setup, this is what I find the best
1. Make your biggest screen the primary monitor
2. Force your windows 'start' bar (at bottom of screen) to go to second monitor.
3. Setup video card properties to force all applications to go to second monitor
4. Setup your video card application's properties to force Revit (including dialog boxes to go to primary monitor

When I'm in Revit, I drag the project browser over to second monitor - then you have Big drawing area, and open explorer on second monitor to library directory, then I can just drag-and-drop library parts in (instead of going through pull-down menus)
Really efficient
