Child Tool Palette

[Norm4Man]

I have tried recently to switch from the drop down menu option to the child tool palette when I design kitchens. I cannot get the tool palette to open, it show active in the view drop down. After I select the cabinet icon or any other tool icon ie wall there is no option to select the required tool? I am sure it is a simple setting but I have reset my preferences to default and still no joy. here are my settings posted. Any assistance will be appreciated.

I don't use the child toolbar set up. I prefer the drop down to keep my eyes in one place rather than scanning across the screen. If I change my set up to Child Toolbar, the child tools pop up on the side of the screen as shown. Are you using 2 monitors? It is possible the toolbar is going offscreen.

Also, try unchecking "Side Window Docking" and see if that works.

Also try Preferences>Reset Options>Reset Side Windows

this should work , it sounds like the ToolBar is Undocked and lost.... eg. you have changed monitors or gone from 3 to 2 or something like that...

Thanks Glenn and Mick, that did solve my issue. I had tried reset on most options but missed the side windows. so good to have a solution.
