imbalanced screen scaling

In configuring AutoCAD 2015 on a laptop with a high resolution screen, the program is exhibiting scaling issues. That is because the display needs to be scaled to achieve normal sized text and buttons in windows. However, AutoCAD has the condition of the text appearing huge at native scaling but normal when Windows is set to 100% scaling.

 

At 100% the command line text looks proportional while the ribbon is microscopic. Is there set of adjustments that most people resort to in these cases, or is this as simple as decreasing the command line text size at the native windows scale where the text appears huge? The crosshairs could use enlarging at either scale setting, however.

Here is the properties panel at native screen scaling:

This there a best practice of remedying this, or do people switch screen scaling manually as they switch in and out of AutoCAD. This machine is running AutoCAD 2015.

Does this solution help

  • Change AutoCAD properties
In Explorer or on the Start menu, right-click AutoCAD 2015, select Properties, select the Compatibility tab, and then select the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings check box.
