Plan the workspace
Decide which display will hold the plan, 3D view, layout, and reference material. Keeping the main drawing window on the primary display simplifies graphics troubleshooting.
Match display scaling
Mixed Windows scaling can make palettes or dialogs appear unusually sized or off-screen. Test consistent scaling first.
Recover missing windows
If a dialog opens outside the visible desktop after a monitor change, use Windows window-move controls or temporarily restore the previous arrangement.
Verification checklist
Preserve a dated backup, test the change on a representative project, change one variable at a time, and verify final drawings, PDFs, renders, or exchange files before using the workflow in production.
