Window resizes every time I open a drawing

[jmeyerson]

I am working on something that I need creo and excel open simultaneusly, so I put creo on half the screen, and excel on the other half. I can open parts fine, but if I open a drawing, the creo window resizes to take up almost all of the screen. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

thanks

Hi Josh,

I searched for the related config options "open_window_maximized", "windows_scale" and "reserved_menu_space"

Try to set these config options with required values.

I use AutoIT to handle this situation.

It's a free programming language that can look at window titles and react based on them, such as (not exact, but close enough to give the idea)

while(1) ; forever

$size_creo = WinGetPos("Creo Active")

$size_excel = WingetPos("Excel")

IF WinActive("Creo Active") and $size[2] <> right_width and $size[0] <> left_edge then

WinMove("Creo Active", new size, loc)

WinMove("Excel", new size, loc)

EndIf

wend

Leave this running when you want the split screen and stop it when you don't.
