Civil 3D - Layer Filter Properties dialog box cannot be found-MENU outside of display AREA

Civil 3D

Layer Filter Properties dialog [Annotative scale] box cannot be found.

    This can occur if a window is displaying outside the display boundaries. To move the window you will need to press Alt+Space+M
Then use the arrow keys to move the window into the display area. You might have to guess the direction where the window is located or in this case. I knew the window was located to the right, because I had 3 display monitors and had to downsize to only two dipslays. The missing display area was the former monitor on the right.

On a sidenote: to lock your menus you can type the system variable LOCKUI=8,
 LOCKUI=0 unlocks them all.


The 'object annotative scale box '  cannot be found. Where did it go?
