Ribbon Size & Icon on DraftSight

Out of category

Hello

I use DraftSight on multiple PCs.

Currently, I'm on a 13" Surface with an external screen.

The size set is OK for the Surface, (small high-definition screen)

On the Asus external screen, the ribbons, icon & text are much too large, which is unnecessary and reduces the useful display by the same amount

How can this problem be solved? (I didn't find in the settings, neither the Surface, nor DraftSight (not this problem with Microsoft & Google programs)

THANK YOU for your enlightened opinion!

Hello;

On the function bar at the top left (next to the draftsight logo) you normally have a drop-down menu to toggle the icon displays...

Kind regards.

Hello

You can check if you have the "Use large icons" checkbox checked in Options/System Options/Screen Options.

Hello

THANK YOU for your help

I'm already in "little icon":(

I think it's related to a "system setting" that mismanages (with DraftSight) the display of the 2nd screen, which, physically, is larger than the main screen of the Surface, but which is managed as a smaller screen ...  
As a result, I have an unnecessary and unpleasant zoom effect that is especially noticeable in the ribbons and the command line (the drawing area is managed correctly!)

Thank you for your help!

Hello

I have the same problem as  hubert.vdw

I just bought the latest version of Draftsight, I'm working on my ASUS 15'' and the layout on the screen is too coarse, see screenshot in PJ

on the other hand on my external screen it's perfect

The only solution is to change the Windows display settings to 100% instead of 150% but in this case you need a magnifying glass to read

Whereas with the free version the adaptation was done automatically, it's frustrating!

Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you

Hello 

Solution found just now on my side!

Since January I had exactly the same display as yours.

Not practical at all. 

I hope it works for you.

You have to right-click on the DraftSigh icon (in English for me)

Properties -> Compatibility -> click Change high DPI settings

=> Check the boxes:

      § Program DPI

     § High DPI scaling override and select "System"
