AutoCAD 2008: When Dialog Boxes Don't Appear

Dialog boxes from Layer Manager, Xref or any other commands that pops out "on-demand" dialog boxes, sometimes they can't be found on the screen.

What happened is, it seems the dialog box did'nt appear, but actually it's floating somewhere on the screen.
This bug usually happens when Cadmonks uses dual or multi screen monitors for their computers, then use it on a single monitor, then back again to using dual or multi screen
monitors.

The fix:

Click Alt key and then Spacebar.


Then this dialog box appear.


Choose the move, and by using your arrow keys place the out of sight "dialog box" towards the center of
your screen.
Then you're suppose to see the dialog box.
That's it.
Enjoy cadding on multi-monitors.
I recommend that you should at least use two monitors.
