Graphics Toolbar disappears from Status bar

RS_8316775 — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 22:51:40 GMT

Creo 11.0.2.0

I've used "Options" "Window Settings" "Graphics Toolbar Setting" to place my Graphics Toolbar in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen. When switching between open windows, working in assemblies, etc, sometimes the software just "forgets" to put the graphics toolbar back in one assembly when I activate it.

I can switch to other parts, drawings and assemblies, and it appears in each window. When I go back to that particular window, it doesn't show.

I can't say for sure, but this seems to happen more after I go to assemble a part using the "Separate Window" Component Display option.

My current only workaround to get it back is to close the window which has "forgot" the graphics toolbar, and reopen that file.

Funky bug. Anyone else with experience on this?

I had similar behavior (tied to the "Refit" and to saved views as well, where it wasn't putting the part on screen when refitting). The workaround I found is to toggle to Full Screen (F11) and back, then it fixed both the graphics bar and Refit bugs. Hope it helps!

Didn't do it for me. I've just kind of learned to deal with it.
