Missing Or Hidden Dialog Boxes in AutoCAD

Ever have dialogs disappear in AutoCAD and not be able to access them without what seems to be CTRL-ALT-DEL and exiting the software? This blog post helped me out greatly to solving the issue when using multiple monitors and the dialogs disappearing: http://autodesk.typepad.com/beyondthebox/2013/10/missing-or-hidden-dialog-boxes-in-autocad.html

Additionally, I've had some app dialogs disappear and the command remains running but inaccessible due to accidentally clicking off of the dialog. How do you gain access back? Here's an example and how.

Here I've used an app from the app store and the dialogs appear - (App is Set Multiple Object Styles for Civil 3D)

 In the image below, I've accidentally clicked off of the dialog and the focus goes back to AutoCAD Civil 3D. The dialog has disappeared but the command is still running - see command line. No obvious way to access the dialog.

 

However, we can get around this issue by cycling through our running applications using ALT + TAB. Then use the arrow keys to move over the AutoCAD Civil 3D icon, at which point you will see text noting the dialog that is currently running. Upon selecting the AutoCAD Civil 3D icon the running dialogs will appear again allowing for selection and completion of the command.
