2017 Dialogue Box Tex Size

[Anonymous]

I am using 2017 on Windows 10. I am having a problem with the text size mainly in my print dialogue box. I have adjusted the size through Windows but nothing seems to fix the problem. The ‘Select a Printer’ portion remains so small that I can barely read it even with my face right in front of the screen. Ribbon looks fine, layers pallet, properties pallet; they all look fine. Why is this happening and how do I adjust this?

if you go to other programs like word or excel and try to print do you have the same issue with the print dialog boxes?

Hi @Anonymous,

Do you perchance have a hi-res (4k) display?  This is a known issue currently as they aren't supported by AutoCAD. I suggest you set your font size in Windows to 100% and drop your resolution a bit to see if that helps.

Hello Everyone,

My apologies for not getting back to you helpful people sooner; it's been kind of busy around here! My other programs appeared fine when I needed to select a printer, that's what made it a little more confusing and why I thought there might be some secret AutoCAD setting I was missing. I do not have a hi res display but I did start playing with the text settings in Widows again. I'm not even really sure what I did but it seems to look fine today. It's a little bizarre. Thanks again for the input, I really do appreciate the help!
