Weld symbol dialog box location

    one.)

    Discovered an issue here in that one guy asked why every time he opened the
    weld symbol dialog box, he had to reposition it just to press the OK button.
    Don't know - let's look. Hmmm, the box comes up partially off the screen
    every time.

    Jump to the conclusion. I save a master (registry) settings file on the
    network so that when I load a new machine, I can just pull in all the
    desired settings. I also update it periodically to keep it current. Turns
    out that something happened on my machine at some point in time that set a
    hard value for the location of that dialog box, and since I run a higher
    resolution than he was, and I had placed it in the corner of the screen on
    my machine, it somehow got locked there and was then coming up off his
    screen.

    To solve it, I found a reg key value of
    "annotation_welds"="0,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,857,423,1410,978" under
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2006\User
    Interface\Dialogs] and deleted it. Now the box always comes up in the
    middle of the screen and you can place it anywhere you want. Unfortunately
    it doesn't remember that position as other boxes do.

    I would appreciate it if other people would please try moving the weld
    symbol dialog box to see if it stays put on their machines, or if it always
    comes up in the middle. Thanks.

    Always up in the middle here. I didn't play with the registry settings
    though.
