Hi, Just attempted my first assembly in V0.18, I had some problems adding on the A2+ workbench initially but got there in the end.
When positioning/mating two parts the properties box displayed on screen is not opening fully to enable me to delete, solve or accept the constraint, I have tried to pull the corner but I cannot expand the box, any ideas folks?
Attached clip shows what I mean.
Thanks in advance,

Hello @un1corn,
i had the same problem when working on a high resolution screen with scaled text for better readability. Setting back the text scaling to 1.0 solved this problem. I will have a look at the code how the prevent the clipped dialog.

Please update your A2plus WB. The problem with the properties dialog should be fixed with Version V0.4.23

Thank you KBWBE, The A2+ constraint properties menu is now fully expanded making the lower three button accessible.
However, I had to customise the Workbenches menu and add it manually as even unzipping directly into the V0.18 'Mod' folder and restarting FC the A2+ would not show in the menu even though the Addon manager indicated it was installed.
I had no problems adding other workbenches.
Thanks again for your invaluable assist.
