Hello - I have multiple monitors and I like having all my Dockers on a separate monitor from the CorelDraw actual application so that I don't lose any working space - and this works except that I have to reposition the dockers every time I start CorelDraw - it doesn't remember their location so it just stacks them all on top of one another on the second monitor and I have to drag them around each time I launch the app - does anyone happen to know if there is a way to get them to remember where they were so that I do not have to do that every time?
I'm attaching an image to explain better - effectively the left half of the (very wide) image is monitor 1 and the right half is monitor 2 - so the Dockers not take up any space in my working space...
do
here is my CD X6 on two monitors
Then I am still doing something wrong - left monitor is 1, middle is 2, right is 3 - workspace on 1 and dockers on 2 - I still have to reposition all the dockers every time I launch CorelDRAW... so I am missing something...
OKay - I think I see the problem - You want me to physically get my computer to identify my 'design' monitor as '1' - but I can't (well, not without a utility) - I can make it primary, but I can't make it '1' - my system is a laptop (albeit a honkin' laptop) so it always calls my internal display 1 - so I can make any monitor Primary, but I can't make 2 become 1 - so I misspoke when I said my left monitor is 1 - it is 1 to me, but it is 2 to Windows - and since 1 is physically built in I can't swap cables or anything to change that.. so for now I'm stuck unless I want my 'design space' to sit on 1 (the real '1') - which I don't - but good to know there is a way to do this if I wanted to... Thanks!
Try setting up a custom workspace once you have dockers positioned where you want it.
Then click on tools / setting to default.
Close corel and reopen, everyhing should be where you left it.

thank you everyone for offering help - I have tried everything, but my guess is that I do need to make my 'work' monitor #1 as one person mentioned earlier and I can't do that since I am using a laptop - so with the info you have all given me at least I know that if I move to a desktop where I can assign #1 to any monitor I want by moving cables this is at least doable...
