GUI not displaying correctly

Siri Amrit Ramos Dec 17, 2013 1:31 PM

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!

I forgot to say that I am running Solidworks 2013 student edition!

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

    What did you do to resolve this issue exactly? I'm having the exact same problem and can't figure it out

I'm also stuck with this issue on a 13" MBP. No matter what settings I change, the icons and text are microscopic. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using SW 2015 on a retina MBP.
