with a search with that oracle called google and writing few basic words as autocad size icons dozens of pages come out, some also of this forum.
try some!! !
If you do not find the solution, try to be more circumstantial.
Are you sure the screen resolution isn't exaggerated?

screen resolution is correct, with the command uses large icons (which is in options--- view) are not large enough. All the answers I found in the oracle or what you call it are about that command. I hoped that by writing in the forum I would find a solution, I didn't want to waste your time

correct for what?screen resolution is correct
I put the big icons on my... these the difference (my resolution is 1680*1050 on a 22")View attachment 40473View attachment 40474the only possibilities are:they're not big enough
use big icons (to me look great)
change resolution. (just with autocad zoom as much as you want with a slightly lower resolution work very well)
so the oracle you took after, otherwise you would have specified that both these solutions were not good for you; no one is omniscent, but not even seer. if you do not specify I think it is better to start from the most obvious solutions.
Don't worry that if I lost time, at 11 in the evening, I wouldn't write.

Why don't you try to use ribbons?

It's the same problem I found on a colleague's laptop (one of the 4k touch screen).
at native resolution (of course!) icons are microscopic as well as texts.
constipation 3800*2100 pixels on a schemo 15" means a density Physical physics stratospheric, with the result that a large icon the number of pixels brought to video result physically A pinhead!
and result physically small all elements related to a fixed size of the program (e.g. menu, command line etc)
I tried to increase the size of icons, menu texts, windows appearance, but without result.
increasing the size of the characters even happened to me a small half with the menus and the writings.
I believe that autocad, in representing icons, menus etc, is based on pixel size and not as a percentage of the available screen area, problem that I do not think I have identified in office for example.
The only solution I found was to lower the screen resolution.
especially for a 15" screen I don't think going beyond 1680x1050 is good at visual level.
a bad solution I know, but the only one with simildecenti results at the visualization level.
the use of ribbons as tristan says could lead to some visual improvement of the icons, but does not solve the other problems (texts of menus, context menus etc) that are almost invisible.

This is the problem of hidpi management of windows. with win7 there are no decent solutions, bringing characters to 200% you create problems in the menus and texts of the interface. win10 instead scales very well with all the programs I tested - I didn't try with autocad (office 2010 is ok and also rhino is almost perfect). win 8 and 8.1 I never used them. I still recommend you to go to the ribbons.

we have such a laptop and we work very well at a very high resolution on a 15". It's a matter of getting used to. the environment seems enormous for the fact of small icons. My colleague instead prefers to use lower resolution, so larger icons in general. if you want to change in autocad settings or again the proportions of windows.

Bye to all,
Sorry I have the same problem as ago92...I took an asus laptop with the 4k display; I installed autocad 2011 and I see icons (commands, menus, those in the bottom bar, etc.) all very small, even decreasing resolution the problem remains equal. What can I do? even using ribbons the problem remains for bar icons at the bottom.
Can anyone help me? ?
Thank you so much!! !

at the moment there is no definitive solution, it is necessary that autodesk releases a version of autocad compatible with high dpi monitors, but at the moment I believe that not even autocad 2016 has this feature.
The only solution you can take is that reported in this post, and is valid for autocad as for any program that does not support the native resolutions of the new monitors.
Say hi.

Thank you so much backtime... I try to take advantage of the post you have indicated to me. . We're hoping for functions, otherwise it's a disaster! But you know nothing about when, and if, Autodesk does something about it? ?

I confirm that not even autocad 2016 has brought a solution to this problem while photoshop 2015 has skillfully adjusted proposing a doubled interface in everything and for everything of 200 percent... I also have an asus 4k and confident aspect that developers take into consideration the thing.. in the meantime I lowered the resolution to 2560x1440 but still it is too much for some windows. . Although using the ribbon as suggested you work without problem.. I opened a new discussion to understand if you can't change some system variable to force the program to high dpi... by clicking on the link in the compatibility tab "disabled screen resize for high dpi" resolution in other cases (type skype) in the case of autocad does not need anything. .

for the moment I work with resolution set to 2560 x 1440 instead of native to 3800!with ribbon bar instead of my dear old toolbars with buttons and making intervention the magnifying lens set on percentage of magnification of]25% snap and on all screen when I need to read the dwarf windows... for the huge text inside the property window- and on the command bar I resigned. .

even with win10 the situation is unmanageable
