Hello Everyone,

As you know BobCAD's drawing screen is customizable allowing you to move tool bars and icons to where you see fit. So If you could be so kind, please take a screen shot of you screen layout and post it in this thread. I know for me, I turn off lots of tool bars because I like a cleaner interface.

Attached is what my screen layout looks like. I look forward to seeing yours!

If the newer users are looking at these,,notice how the above users,who are all experienced many years in,we all have a "minimalist" approach.Cluttering the screen with every Icon known to mankind,,is not the best way.
Shortcut keys or drop down menus besides the Icons.Especially on a Laptop,where real estate is scarce,keeping the screen less cluttered is preferred.

After watching your afterdark video's and your personal assistance, my screen is the same as yours. Most of the time

Go figure !!!!

That way I can copy what you do... very simplistic for me.

All my managers are to the left which prevents the cursor from getting tired from running around. The graphics area is light blue 187,196.210. Preditor pops up in a half sized window. Not too many keyboard shortcuts as I can only remember shift S. Tool tips but no getting started on startup. Cool Look ( I like tan border and light blue graphics area) and small buttons.

Not sure what you mean, but it could be you are running demo, and those things are disabled after initial trial? But if it "crashes" your system, you may want to report that.

[jrmach]

I will report

O.K. as long as you denizens of the desktop are gathered in one place. Is it possible to drive two different monitors with different size and resolution if my card has two outputs? Thinking of a huge client screen but with lower rez, with me on a hi rez 24"

[Trotline]

In general, Windows handles dual monitors very well. Differences in resolution are not an issue. If your card will handle the higher of the resolutions, and has multiple outputs, you should be fine. I'm running a main monitor at 1920 x 1080, and a secondary at 1600 x 900 right now, with no issues. The physical size of the monitor isn't an issue, just the port style and the resolution.

Can I run a second screen from my laptop,,,or is that just a stupid idea ?

[Trotline]

It'll depend on the graphics controller that's built in to the laptop. In general, if it has an ATI, AMD, or Nvidia graphics controller, then you can probably just plug a second screen into the VGA port in the back, configure it, and drive on. It'll probably default to "Mirroring" mode, but you can set it in Windows to be an independent second screen, which is likely what you'd want. There are some other solutions, besides the VGA port, which are covered in this article: How to Connect Multiple Monitors to Your Laptop . If your laptop is relatively new, or relatively powerful, or both, you'll probably have a graphics controller that can easily do the job. Just make sure the monitor has the same port style. The Windows setup is pretty basic, and it's always been very easy to configure for me.

EDIT to Add: I have also set up dual monitors on a PC for a family member that was running the integrated graphics controller from an Intel Core i5 CPU/GPU. it also worked fine.
