Dual or Multiple Monitors for Capture

RWright

Hi,

Is there any support for using dual or multiple monitors with Capture? 

The only thing I can seem to do is open Capture on my main monitor and get out of full screen, then drag the right side of the Capture window across to the other side of the second monitor so that the one Capture window spans two monitors. This is a huge pain because when you open schematic sheets, they open spanned across two monitors so you have to grab those and resize each one to fit on one monitor. 

In a lot of other programs such as software IDE apps and Altium, you just drag the tab from one of the windows from the main screen to the next monitor and it opens another instance of the app and opens the tab window within it.

How do other people here deal with wanting schematic windows on more than one monitor? I see that I can drag the directory window which contains the .opj and design tree into another screen without issue, but I cannot do this with schematic windows. Thanks very much.

Robert
