HI @Anonymous,

While update 1.1 fixed most hi-res display issues it hasn't caught them all yet. What size are your Windows fonts set to use? I would suggest dropping them down a bit to see if that improves the issue for you.

Hi John

Downsizing the front from 300% to 200% does help with the situation.However the whole system font size is too small for ease of usage. Please have another update to solve this issue asap.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

I am glad that helped your display issues. You might also try reducing your display resolution just a bit too. That might get things much more readable all the way around!

Hi John

Realised that changing the screen resolution to 1366X768 and reducing the zoom from 300% to 100% will solve the issue totally and enable Autocad 2017 to function normally without the need to strain your eyes.

I'm using a Lenovo Yoga Y910 series with preinstalled windows 10.

Hi,

>> try update to 2017 SP1 same issue

Just to make clear, the message contains "SP1" whereas the title of that thread is about "2017.1.1" ==> that are different states!

SP1 is the first service pack

1.1 stands for update 1.1 ==> and that update handles the highres monitor conflicts

If you only have SP1 installed, you are not up-to-date.

If you would have installed Update 1.1 you would not need to change the resolution of your monitor to get the fonts in dialogs working well (for most of the dialogs).

Hi,

>> I have the same issue with my AutoCAD 2016

AutoCAD 2016 is not supported for 4K monitors, either update AutoCAD or set the Windows font size/scaling to 100% or reduce the resolution of your displays so the text and icons are big enough (with 100%).

Hi,

2017.1.2 or newer

>> There is no way I could work with a 100% font on my laptop !!!

Of course, why shouldn't that be possible?

Or do you mean for you the text is then to small? ... then reduce the display resolution to something like 1920x1050
