Attributes palette missing at Vectorworks start?

[Bruce Kieffer]

Does anyone else have this problem? I boot Vectorworks and my attributes palette is invisible. Window/Palettes/Attributes is checked, but the palette is invisible. I uncheck and recheck that command, and then the attributes palette appears right where it should be.

I've been having the same problem with undocked palettes. In my case the Resource Manager and Script palettes. I think it might be affected by secondary displays.

I have a second display too. And now that you mention it, my resource manager (undocked) also is invisible all the time.

I tagged this thread in on my bug report

Ive been having this issue as well. Seems to be random pallets that aren't visible on start up. they are checked in the pallets selection screen and when unchecked and re checked they reappear. It's totally random which pallet and how many will be visible. saving the pallet position does nothing.

I believe that in another thread this was attributed to a custom workspace that had been updated from a previous version of VW. The suggested solution was to recreate your workspace directly in VW2023.

My workspace was created in 2023. This problem was fixed (for me) with a system update.

I am having a very similar problem, but un- and re-checking the palette does not work. I am using the most recent version (new user, did not update from previous version) and have not been able to find a way to get the attributes palette to show up while using a second display. If I reboot without the second display then the palette shows up at startup.

@Nikki CPlease check that you have updated to Service Pack 3 and check again "soon" for another service pack that might solve this problem for you.

I agree about multi-monitor problem. Palettes stuck between screens.

I just start turning off monitors until the missing palette pops up on another screen, or turn them all off and back on again and let previous objects on screen reset to primary and others.

That is why I think multi-screen palette purgatory.
