    Default Properties/Tool palettes won't display

    On one of our systems, neither the Properties palette or the Tool palettes show up when turned on. DesignCenter works fine. It is not a transparency setting (which only applies to tool palettes anyway). It seems that the palettes are being displayed "off-screen" somewhere.

    On a typical dialog box, it is possibleto manually (via keyboard) move a dialog back into the visable screen area. If a toolbar is offscreen, it is possible to force it to dock by using the "-toolbar" command. Are there any command-line commands or sysvars allowing manual control over the location of palettes? Any autolisp controls?

    Thanks.

    you could try changing your desktop resolution to something higher, forcing them to appear in the space that was offscreen at a lower resolution, i know thats worked for me with other applications where things have moved out of the visible screen.

    Higher resolution usually brings things back into focus. Also, make sure the computer isn't configured to work with a second monitor. It may be trying to put the palettes/properties on a different screen that isn't there (usually happens with laptops, but it's possible).
