Screen resolution

Alasdair1 — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 09:20:19 GMT

Windows 10 settings gives me resolutions of 100% 125% etc etc. With Autocad 2019 on my screen the ribbon size is very small. Is there any way the ribbon can be zoomed without the changing the system settings, My Screen is an IIyama XB3070WQS.

@Alasdair1

This is not an installation and licensing issue. This is an AutoCAD workflow/setting. I will have the moderator relocate your posting to the AutoCAD forum

While it's waiting to get moved over to the AutoCAD folder:

What do you have here?

Also what do you have for a video card?

If I move to 125% which I have in the past it makes all programmes bigger. Not what I want. In Excell I can zoom in and out I was wondering if the Ribbon in AutoCAD had the same facility. From what I gather it is fixed at 100% or 125% etc etc.

it's fixed to a point ...

However what do you have for all of the settings?

Also what video card do you have?

change your monitor resolution from 2560 x 1600 to 1900 x 1080, does that do it for now?

I have now found the best solution is to change the screen resolution to the 125% setting. The recommended setting is 100%. The resolution setting suggested did not work. Will run with 125%. Thanks for your help.
