How can i force zbrush to always open on the second monitor

Hi guys, this seems like a really basic/dumb question and i tried as much as i could not to ask it but i just couldnt find the answer anywhere…
Im using zbrush 4R5 with a cintiq 12wx tablet on windows 7 64 bits. Im using two monitors, the tablet being the second one. On most programs all i had to do was to maximize the program window on the cintiq display and everytime i launched the program after that, it would launch on the cintiq display, the secondary monitor. But with zbrush this doesnt seem to work. Everytime i open the program i have to drag it to the other screen and that is just outrageous. I want to force zbrush to open on my second monitor… how can i do it?

I believe you would have to set your cintiq as the main monitor in your display settings.

Thx A LOT! It worked, my monitor screen image looks like crap right now but, other than that its quite amazing. Thx

I have a Cinitq 21 UX as the third monitor in my system and what you need to do when you move ZBrush to the Cintiq is go to Preferences>Config>Store Config. ZBrush should then open on the Cintiq each time you open it.

Even better! changing the way i was changing was messing my resolution, thanks a lot for this!

When you change the main monitor, you have to make sure that each monitor’s resolution is set to it’s native setting. See CINTIQ 12WX: CONFIGURING DUAL DISPLAYS ON A PC. DLangley’s solution is much better though and I wasn’t aware that Store Config would remember that. Sorry! I’m glad you’re good to go. :+1:

Zber2 your are right, its probably the same thing in the end, its just simpler to save to config i guess… On some applications, if i wanted it to be on my big monitor, id always have to set the resolution the proper way and sometimes i couldnt do it simply cause im not very good with those things. Either way, thx a lot once again, its always to have the option!
