Hello

Left on a secondary screen turned off or absent?

Moved to an edge of the screen and barely visible?

Positioned out of frame after switching to a lower resolution screen?

So, I searched the registry a bit and found how to reset your dialog.

First of all, it must be closed in Solidworks, so that the "rotation" button is disabled.

Then, windows keys+R to open "Run", then type "regedit" in open. Click OK.

In the registry editor, go to the address (version of your SW, here 2020): Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS 2020\User Interface\Dialogs

Scroll down until you find: uiRotateViewDialog_c

Double-click on it, then in the data of the value, replace the one present with: 0,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,0,0,0,0 then click OK

Now, by clicking on the spinning arrow button, the dialog box will appear at the top left corner of the screen.

There you go

PS: By extension, the trick works for all* Solidworks dialog boxes, as long as they appear in the list.

*Knowing that 0,0, 0,0 are the coordinates of the corners of the dialog box (x,y of the top left corner, x,y of the bottom right corner). With 0,0,0,0 resizable boxes will only display their title bar, just move this bar and the box will automatically size to its minimum possible size. Otherwise, type 0,0,200,200 to see the handle and be able to stretch it manually.
