screen resolution

[stefanorso]

Good morning, I am stefano, 46 years old and I drew up to the atro yesterday with pro-e / creo. for some time I have to replace a colleague who left and worked in solidworks.
I just have to pull out some table and do simple things (for now) and I feel like I'm doing it pretty well.
The only thing I can't change is the too small resolution that has the computer in use. has an uhd screen with resolution 3840x2160 and everything is too small. I can't move license that is linked to this pc. can you enlarge display in solidworks without unhunting in windows? Thank you very much

the easiest thing is to set the windows font to 120%
But if you don't want to slew in windws, nothing.

Thank you. the absurd thing is that draftsight (which I use habitually for 2d layouts) has egregedly adapted to the new monitor without doing anything and you see as god. solidworks that is a much more expensive and "quality" software does not have a redefinition of resolution or the possibility to increase the magnification of menus, buttons, feature managers and rest... the more I think about it and the more I irritate myself. or at least I don't find it working.

I attach the image of display diversity and screen settings

Look, I had the same problem with resolution 1440x3440, but then I made my glasses and I put everything back 100%

Hi.
you can change the size of the buttons, I attach an image:for the font size instead, the only way is to change the scaling from windows as atreiou says.

it seems strange, I use the timescale and solidworks uses it correctly. after resize, did you try to restart windows? or at least to make a user logout/login? from what I saw this operation is necessary to make the display change to the operating system.
