Two monitors

I have just hooked up two monitors on my PC and dont know how to get
the second one
open up to run both ?The second monitor is up and running I can get the
cursor to the second
monitor but have no idea how to get to work on it

Thanks

 

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,

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

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?

 

in sw, "minimize document", drag to 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.

 

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

Doh!

i do now. and let me tell you, i feel like a stooge.

 

I thought I might be taking crazy pills (nope just a Monday).

If you have an option of "enable window spaning of multiple displays"
have that checked. Then size the window across both monitors. Next
verticaly tile the two files that you want to view. Walla.

 

I have tried what you suggested and think that will work for me.
I am having vidio problems thou, it makes it real sluggish. Had Vidio
problems before. This inhances it 10x thou.I Have a new one
being installed today. Will keep informed

Thanks

Thanks to all

New vidio card in now .Problems solved.
stretching and then tileing seems to work well for what I want.

Cheers
