Dual monitor Display setup....
 

Hello,

Is there a way to have a dual monitor display setup in Autodesk Inventor? If so How? I have heard that this is very helpfull when doing CAD, so I would like to try it... (BTW I already have the Dual monitors setup, I am just looking for a software side option tha will recognize in Invenotr that I have 2 monitors) Thanks... --Brian Jennings

There is a Autodesk training session tomorrow at 5 PM PST. I'd suggest e-mailing this question to Kelly.stanphill@autodesk.com and they will answer it then.

i think what others were saying, when they referenced using two monitors and it being helpful, was that it can be useful to operate say your 2d cad alongside your inventor, or have a menu tree open on one screen and use the other screen just for modeling.....this was my impression, and is in fact how i use my dual monitor setup.

if there is some unique way to otherwise optimize two screens specifically for inventor i'd be extremely interested.

I highly suggest everyone to attend. Last one was great for experenced and newbee's like me to Inventor :)

I asked the question in the first trainning session, but I got information on how to set it up in windows.

What I did at first was I just resized the screen to go over both monitorsa then just used 2 window veiws in inventor... but I don't think that is the proper way o do it...

the stretch program over two monitors with split view is the most common way people use 3d-applications on two monitors. I've been at SIGGRAPH, a computer graphics convention, a few times, and every time I've been there, they have applications stretched or different ones in each. I think MAYA has 2 monitor support, because I saw it positioned really well, but I've never seen inventor, 3dsmax, autocad very well placed on 2 monitors.
