Problem using high resolution screen

[Anonymous]

When installing vers. 2016 on my new computer with a high resolution on the screen (3840x2160), the size of the toolbar is so small that it is not possible to see the icons. I have tried to change the resolution but without any effect. It does not seem to be a unique problem. I know at least three other with similar problem. What should I do?

AutoCAD is only designed to 2k resolutions through 2016: https://www.google.com/search?q=autocad+and+igh+res+display&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-...

This is the fix that works for me with AutoCAD and a few other programs: http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/

Hi @Anonymous,

@pendean is exactly right here. Did his suggestion help at all?

You may also want to try some of the tips suggested in this article. Let me know if that helps you improve your experience.

Thanks for the tips.

Nothing seems to work properly. Autodesk have to adapt their program to 4K-screens. All of my other program on my computer is working ok e.i. Office, Adobe ...

To solve the problem I have to buy a new computer (again) with lower resolution!!!!!

Hi @Anonymous,

I'm sorry to hear that none of the suggestions we've made here have helped.

If your display and your system are not a single unit, a more affordable alternative may be to swap out the high resolution monitor for one within the supported range (2k high limit), instead of purchasing an entirely new machine as you've indicated.

Hi everybody! I have the same problem! a new wonderful Asus with a 4k resolution and the impossibility to use Autocad properly! the screen size is 15' and even if i tried a lower resolution of 2560x1440 the use of autocad is really full of difficulties.. May we hope in a future FIX' thank you Silvia

Below 2k is the display requirement, so 2560 is not low enough. Think HD format instead http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-architecture-general/problem-using-high-resolution-screen/m-p/...

A fix, if any, will most likely only come in future versions and not a patch to this one.
