I am installing Revit, AutoCAD, AutoCAD MEP and the like on a new Lenovo P51 Laptop...
...And I am seeing some very odd Resolution issues going on.
Some text and even Button Controls in a number of dialog boxes in several programs & Add-ons appear very dinky, small, and in some cases almost illegible.
I've tried a couple of video drivers without resolution (no pun intended) and I am wondering what it is that is going on.
Please help!

Hello @mdhutchinson,
Do you know if this is a high DPI resolution screen? You may have to increase or decrease the screen resolution. Please review some of the information in the forums & Autodesk help to see if it helps resolve this for you.
Please let us know if you need some more suggestions. I will be moving this post to a product board so they can provide some more suggestions.
Please "Accept As Solution" if a reply or replies have helped resolve the issue or answered your question, to help others in the community.

@mdhutchinson for the AutoCAD issues, please make sure you have the 2017.1.2 update installed. It contains many dialog box fixes for high-resolution monitors (4k)
You can find the update in your Autodesk account product updates page.

This is a Lenovo ThinkPad P51 Laptop .... yes it does look like it is a 4K Resolution.
Native resolution is currently set at setting specified as Recommended values... 3840 x 2160 with 250% ... size of text, apps, and other items
I surely think this is the fix.
Also, we run Revit 2016, 2017 and 2018 projects currently.

I changed the resolution to 1920 x 1080 and Scaling 125% for size of text, apps, and other items to 125%.
This has fixed the issue.
Thanks!
