I am building a flow with several dialog boxes. I am using two screens, my laptop where I have the building commands displayed and my second screen where I have the results of my building and where the tool selects the UI elements. When the line command for the dialog box is triggered, the box shows up on my laptop screen not my "work" screen. How can I make the dialog box show up on screen 2? As it is, when I demonstrate the flow, I have to drag the box over so viewers can tell what's going on.  

Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

     

    So there is not a function within PAD as far as i know to do this, but luckily i have found another option because i was curious about this aswell.

     

    My setup is the same as yours: 1 laptopscreen and 1 other.

    So i have tested a little bit with screen priorities and came to the conclusion that if make your external display the headscreen (in screensettings) and you rotate the laptop screen with the external screen. Usually you now will have screen number 2 (external) on the left and laptop (1 on the right). It is working.

     

    Obviously this changes the way you are using both screens so i advise to test it out.

     

    Good luck.
