DHerb2014 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I just upgraded to X14 today. I noticed after importing/migrating older files to new version, I'm not able to select View/Active Layer Display to open up a separate window. I went back to X12 and did the same thing, and it opened in a separate window next to my main window. Also, the Library icon is shown in upper right corner. When I select it, nothing happens. It doesn't open. I'm not sure what's going on and hoping someone has encountered this too. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHerb2014 Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 See attachment for both icons. Neither will open up. X12 works fine, but X14 not working yet. Library Browser Icon and Active Layer Display Icon.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Works fine on my X14, sorry you are having trouble. Check your "Edit - Preferences-Library Browser", the Project Browser can be made visible using the "View Menu-Project Browser". DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have your Chief window floating and not maximized to the windows screen did you try moving the window and looking behind the Chief window? Do you have a second monitor? Did you try reset your side menus in preferences reset? It’s a common issue and that is what happens. If not then it’s time to contact customer tech support. That’s what your ssa is for.

DHerb2014 Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 David and Ryan, thanks for your suggestions. Going to reach out for technical services at Chief. When I toggle View/Library Browser or View/Active Layer Display Options in X12, each open in their own windows. Neither open in X14 for some strange reason and the Library and ALDO icons on the right side show "check marks" but don't open. Also deleted X14 and restarted PC and downloaded again. Same results. By the way, my MacBook Pro works just fine with X14 and both windows open respectively. Very strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Before contacting tech support, did you try Eric's suggestion of using the "Reset Side Windows" tool first? For more info, see this tech article: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00654/restoring-the-size-position-of-the-side-windows.html If that does not work, then by all means you should contact tech support before they close for the long weekend.

DHerb2014 Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Dermot, Yes, this worked and the side windows are back. I've been using Chief since 1998 and with every new release, things get modified or updated. Many thanks for your help on this one. Your link was extremely helpful by the way, and was easy to follow.
