floating tool bar wont dock

Post by aquacg »

I sometimes accidentally drag the toolbar off the side into the middle where it is floating and not docked where it should be. Irricad will rarely allow me to dock the toolbar back to the side where it should be. I frequently have to re set the winicad file in the conifg folder to reset the toolbars to default. This deletes any custom toolbars I have created. Is there a fix to this bug yet? Thanks.

We can't seem to get this to happen here as any moved toolbars dock back in the main toolbar very easily in Version 14 and 15.
We suspect there may be something you are doing or something on your system that corrupts the Winicad.ini file on your computer. If this is happening frequently perhaps you can remember what other things have happened on your computer from when your toolbars re-docked correctly to when they stop docking correctly.

One tip is that after recreating the Winicad.ini file and re-setting your toolbars save a copy of the file so that you can easily put the copy back if required.

I am having the same problem. It is also happening to my AutoCAD. I tried the solution mentioned for the V12 (rename winini file) but that did not work

This seems a bit odd that renaming/removing the Winicad.ini file in the IRRICAD \ config folder did not help at all. Was IRRICAD open at the time of the renaming/removing? If so, close IRRICAD and try again.
It also seems significant that your AutoCAD toolbars are playing up as well and points to something on your system.
What version of IRRICAD are you running?
What Operating System are you running?
