Is it possible to adjust solidwork's UI for high pixel density?

Sarah Schubert Aug 26, 2015 5:50 PM

I installed solidworks on a laptop with very high pixel density and I can't seem to adjust font size for the vast majority of the text. The textbox for dimensions also does not scale up, so I cannot see the dimension I'm typing.

I suggest downloading SW 2016 Beta 3 and try again.

  Thank you very much. Unfortunately I only have access to the 2014 version of Solidworks. Is there anyway to adjust for pixel density on that version?

    Unfortunately, no there is not a way in SolidWorks 2014 to adjust for a high pixel density display.

  Is it allowed to post the truth if SW2016 SP3 fixed the font problem
  on high resolution screens? My messages concerning this are deleted.

    As soon as PR1 is out.

The only solution I know of is to reduce the resolution of the screen.

  It is a never ending problem that is know for many years.
  They seem not to be able to fix it, have been pushing very hard in beta
  SW2016 but still no solution. Seems unpossible to fix. SW2016
  has new problems again concerning this issue.
