    Default Unable to bring up the dialog box for "move or copy layout tabs"

    I am unable to bring up the dialog bx for "move or copy layout tabs" Is there a system variable or command I need to type to be able to do this?

    There's no variable or command that I know of. Could this be another example of a box having been moved off the screen?

    You can't do it from the model tab, you have to have a layout tab. If you only have a model tab, you need to right click on it and select "create new layout". Then right click on the new layout tab and then choose "move or copy".

    I am in the layout tab and when I click on the "Move or copy" option, the dialog box does not come up.

    As soon as you click "Move or Copy" and the dialog does not appear, is the command line back to "Command:"? If you click in the editor, does it just beep until you press ESC?

    After doing the layout tab move copy command, hit ALT+SPACE BAR, then M (for move), then use your arrow keys to move the dialog box back onto the screen. Might take some time to get the direction you want. Don't hold it more than 5 sec without seeing it, you probably went the wrong way. Go back the other way 10 secs. If that doesn't work try up and down the same way.

    to add to this trick so that you do not have to hold for mutiple seconds to find it...once you hit (alt+[spacebar]) and then hit "M" if you just click any directional button once then you can move your mouse around to place the dialog box...
