I have a custom dialog box that I have used for a couple of decades that now appears stretched (width) in C3D 2015 but only on a couple of installations. I have been using C3D 2014 and installed C3D 2015 so I could troubleshoot the problem for those using C3D 2015; however, on my C3D 2015 it appears just as it has on C3D 2014. It is not stretched for me. The others still see the stretched dialog.
One of the other users said trying to load the program that opens the dialog crashed his machine. The other had no such problem except the dialog is stretched. On my new C3D 2015 installation it loads and runs w/o any problem and the dialog looks just as it always had.
Does anyone know what may be causing the change in the dialog appearance and could it be related to the crashes the one user is experiencing?

Hi,
Can you provide more details on how this dialog was created? Lisp, .NET, C++, VBA?
Also, do you have a image that demonstrate the issue?
The dialog structure or layout was created using a DCL file and is populated/manipulated via autolisp.
It was originally constructed in the mid-1990's and has been working well since then.
Thanks!
From what you said, it seems related to Windows DPI settings, which can vary from one machine to another...
Undre control panel, appearance, try change according to the image below:
P.S. I have since installed "Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Premium 2015" on my workstation and the stretching does not happen on my installation.
The two other workstations where the stretching occurs are under another license acquired by our company. Those two seats were upgraded by the techs that use them from a download of "AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015".
That was it!
Thank you very much.
