Problem with editor window pads in Altium Designer 2013
« on: July 26, 2013, 01:55:52 pm »
Hello! when I open the window to edit a pad the OK button is hidden, overlapped by the toolbar, even hiding the toolbar windows can not use the ok button, anyone ever had this problem?

PCB design is always done on large monitors (24" 1920x1200 etc) and often 3 of them in a row!

Trying to do it with only 768 vertical pixels is a little crazy :P

In any case, to fix your current problem just set the taskbar to auto-hide mode.
That will give you some extra room and allow you to click the buttons.


( right click on the taskbar / properties / tick 'auto hide the taskbar' )

Altium designers minimum screen requirement is 1280x1024 with strong recommendation for larger and secondary screens.

i guess you figured it out. but all joking aside : you really need to get a higher resolution screen.
Altium gets very frustrating if you run it on a cramped display.
get a nice widescreen 1920x1080 or , if you can afford it : two of those. or 1920x1200 (LA2405x)
