Our IT department thought we deserved new monitors and now there is much harrumphing.

We went from standard 22 inch 4x3 ratio CRT’s to 22 inch 16x9 LCD’s and don’t find them as useful for CAD work.

The biggest problem with the increased resolution and new found east and west real estate is the now a skinny FeatureManager tree area (not fly out or display pane). When a drawing is opened and a dimension or note is selected the FeatureManager tree area partially covers the information within and must be manually dragged wider (not a huge issue, just a pain).

I played with the widescreen workspace but it still gives us the skinny FeatureManager tree area. Is it possible to increase the default width of the FeatureManager tree and keep it there?

Any and all “moving to 16x9” tips would be appreciated.

Thanks all...
