Display Aquasuite on Specific Monitor

Sunday, July 18th 2021, 6:11pm

Is it possible to set Aquasuite to display on a specific monitor ?

Had a good look but can't seem to find anything that will do it

Yes, but you don't assign a monitor.

Aquasuite considers all monitors as a single canvas. e.g. if you have 2 monitors side by side, both being 2000x1000 pixels, the canvas would be 4000 x 1000 pixels.
To place an object on the 'second' monitor, 10 pixels from the left edge, and10 pixels from the top you would specify the x/y as 2010/10. (settings.jpg)
If the monitors were one above the other, the canvas would be 2000x2000 pixels.

I am not sure how it works with 2 monitors side by side, with the right monitor designated as the primary (left monitor is #2), but you may need to use negative x in that case. Same if 2 monitors are vertically mounted and the 2nd monitor is the top monitor.

It will be great if they will implemate an option to decide on which monitor you want to display the sensors.

  • select the overview page you want to work on
  • unlock the page to edit it
  • right-click on the object you want to move
  • select 'Settings' from the pop-up menu

The way they did it might be a bit unintuitive, but it has the advantage that the display can span across multiple monitors.

So you have to move each element individually ?

What a faff!!

It is possible to select any or all objects on a Overview page (select.jpg)
Then Drag & Drop to a new position (drag_drop.jpg)
But the resolution of your drop is limited to the steadiness of your hand, which may be improved by having the grid-lock turned on.

The optimum would be to select multiple objects and have the ability to offset all selected objects by a specific x/y, but that is currently not available.

Edit: link to a 10 SECOND CLIP showing a multi-object move.

Which brings to mind 2 further improvements that could be made.

1) Enable CTRL+A to select All
2) Enable Scaling of window to better facilitate placing of widgets anywhere on the available canvas

Of course I could always resize the AS window and stretch it over both monitors then drag & drop ;o)

Only PITA still then is lack of CTRL+A functionality

Damned annoying.

Since the update to X.41 I dont seem to be able to resize the Aquasuite window across multiple monitors :(

EDIT UPDATE

Closed & Reopened and worked as expected
