You think you&#8217;ve missed it, so naturally you try again&#8230;.aaaannnd more of the same!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s happening is not caused by a bug, computer lag, or even my fat finger; it&#8217;s simpler than that. In most cases,\u00a0it&#8217;s because the\u00a0dialogue box opened in an unexpected area. The\u00a0culprit is my constant switching from dual to single monitor, and my even more constant tinkering with dialogue box placement. This is not specific to\u00a0Fusion 360, and I&#8217;ve even seen\u00a0cases where entire programs have gone missing. It&#8217;s easy enough to\u00a0remedy\u00a0once you realize what&#8217;s happening, but even then sometimes the dialogue boxes can hide with chameleon-like\u00a0efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then\u00a0last week, when I was collaborating with Fusion 360 Evangelist, Taylor Stein, he showed me a trick that I&#8217;ve since used\u00a0<em>almost<\/em> daily. Seeing as how helpful it&#8217;s been to me, I wanted to share it as this week&#8217;s\u00a0QUICK TIP.
