coojo99,

If you haven't already you have to shut down and restart. i have an Invidia card that has the dual monitor capability and that is what I had to do for it to recognize that there were two displays. Then I had to got into Control Panel/Display and poke around. If you have inVidia card there is an inVidia Tab where you can control dual monitor settings.

Good luck, ~G

I have the monitors working together I can get internet on one and SW on other EST. My delema is working in SW and say having a assembly on one , and open a drawing or part on other.The only way I can do it is by opening SW up twice.Is this the only way I can do it or can I tile it or some thing In one opening of SW and drag a window into the second monitor somehow?

Thanks D

The only way to do that is to have two instances of SW open (one on each screen). You could manually stretch one instance of SW to both screens but why would you want to.

single session is all that's required.

in sw, "minimize document", drag to second monitor.

I'm not sure I follow, can you elaborate.

How can you drag just one document in a session of SW to a second monitor?

hint, 3 icons in upper right corner of open document.

I know how to get one session of SW from one monitor to the other. The original post was asking if there was a way to view an (assembly) on one monitor and a (part/drawing/whatever) on the other monitor using one instance/sessoin of SW.

please re-read. not talking about sw.

hint #2, the lower set of 3 icons. this will allow you to "minimize/re-size document" thus enabling the ability to drag.

Well it must be a Doh, Are you on two screens in one session.? I cannot get it to work this way if you are.It will not let me drag a part or anything threw the SW screen,On screen one to two , or two to one . maybe spell it out instead of the hints.

Thanks
