GUI not displaying correctly

Hi all,

 

For the life of me, I cannot get all the elements in the UI to display correctly. See below for screenshots.

 

I am running Windows 8 with bootcamp on a Retina Display Macbook Pro.

 

Screen Resolution: 2880x1800

Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M

Processor: Intel Core i7-3615QM 2.30 GHz

 

You can see all the graphical elements are shrunken down, the fonts are waaay too big. This makes editing dimensions and all popups windows insanely frustrating. Does anyone know what I could do to fix this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Correct Answer

You should reduce Windows scaling.

 

Solidworks has many problems with scaling and it does not

comply to the Microsoft scaling especially the last releases.

 

Also,  your borders are far too big. Windows 8 has less controll concerning this.

But here are some tricks

Or search for a tool  called
