2021 entities "thickness" (4k display related)

[w64bit]

Hi,

Is there any way to set up all entities in AutoCAD to have the "thickness" = 2 pixels?

I mention that am not referring to lineweight.

I want to view all entities with 2 pixels instead of 1 (when all entities has no lineweight and LWDISPLAY = OFF).

Thanks

Not from within AutoCAD. Outside of AutoCAD, you can try screen resolution but that will affect other things, too.

That's bad. It is related with 250% scaling on 4k display (for 4k laptops).

I am using a structural analysis program for building structures which has this option in settings and I thought that I can find something similar for AutoCAD.

Is there any good way to forward this fix request?

I'm not so sure that is a recommended setting but that doesn't matter.

Comparing platforms is only going to lead to frustration.

Since this is not really a programming issue, I doubt it would get any traction. Focus on your local settings.

Thank you for your exact and prompt answers.

I will end this post with a simple observation of a big problem with an easy solution:

Taking into account that most of the current laptops are 13.3-15.6" and a good portion of them are 4k, the single recommended scaling is 250%.

I know it looks large for AutoCAD but it's not.

AutoCAD can work very good with this scaling by adding a simple setting: entity thickness in pixels.

In order that AutoCAD to work perfectly with 250% scaling, you have to set the High DPI scaling override = Application.

All will be OK except that the entities "thickness" will be 1 pixel, which is too thin because of 4k display.

What is missing and can be easily added is the option to choose that the entities will be displayed with 2 pixels instead of 1 pixel.

AutoCAD on 4k/250% will be perfect and 250% scaling can be added to recommended list.
