When I invoke surface analyses/draft angle, the control window appears partly hidden by the menu bar (see attached image).
It is very tedious to fill in the upper draft value and makes the tool barely usable.
Is there any possibility to manipulate the position of this window?
I looked into some of the .ini files in the environment folder, but couldn't find anything.

Oh, that's Shark 5.0 (built 750) on MacOSX 10.4.11.
(used to be a problem on CU 4.0 too though)

Ciao, Norbert

Same problem.

Do a search for [Draft Angle] in the Dialogs.ini file, then change he last line to be: UpperLeftPos=250,250 That should move it someplace usable.

Thanks Nick, that was what I weas looking for!
I was searching for the dialogs.ini in the environment folfer (inside the shark folder).
I'm quite sure it used to be there in earlier versions (Cobalt, Concepts whatever).
Anyway, if anyone runs into the same problem here is the filepath of the ini file (at least on a Mac):

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Punch!/Shark/SRKDialogs.ini

And to Tim: the default position for the draft evaluation window was at o,-16.
I am not calling this a bug, but I think it should be changed, as it is actually causing some inconvinience.

Ciao, Norbert
