Tom Grabowski Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I have just started using Spotlight 10.1 and have noticed that in the spotlight workspace I cannot get the constraints palette to display. If I switch to either the standard or classic workspace it will display and it will toggle on and off from the window menu. If I am in the spotlight workspace and I select the constraints palette, the check mark will show up in the menu but the palette is no where to be found. All the other palettes will work but not the constraints. In the morning I will check to see if it happens on the office machine. I am running Windows XP. Quote Link to comment
william7 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Have you moved all of the other open pallets on your screen? Sometime one pallett will be placed over another and obscure it from view. This has happened to me many a time. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Palettes can hide behind the OIP and RB if they are not docked .. likewise iwth other palettes. Also, you can minimize palettes on windows by double clicking on the title bar of the palette. Make sure you haven't minimized the palette. If so, just double click on the palette's title bar and it will reappear. Quote Link to comment
Tom Grabowski Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 On both my home and office machine with no drawing open and no other palettes but the constraints checked, I have on the screen the top menu bar and nothing else but gray blankness. This only happens in the spotlight workspace. In the other workspaces the constraints palette will show up in the midst of the gray. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Minimize VW and see if you see the palette once the application window is minizmized. Quote Link to comment
Tom Grabowski Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 Minimizing either the drawing window or the program does not make the constraints palette appear. I did some checking with the other palettes and the rendering palette does the same thing. It will toggle on and off in all the workspaces but the spotlight workspace. I can put the render bitmap tool in another palette and it will show up but not the rendering palette. The next step is to try a reinstall but I left the disk in the office.

Tom Grabowski Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 Reinstalling did not work. What I did was to edit a copy of the standard workspace (that had the constraints palette) and add all the spotlight palettes and menus and menu items and then name it the spotlight workspace.

Tom Grabowski Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 I reinstalled the program to another directory on the drive and it still has the same problem, no constraints palette in the spotlight work space. Is there any way to access the constraints tools in the workspace editor? That palette doesn't appear in the tools tab. Quote Link to comment
