Displaying parts in full scale on the monitor

[markD2LV3]

Hi,

I design a lot of parts that are not larger than say 13 x 13 in, and can easily fit on my monitor in their true size.

When I show them to others, to avoid having to print them out on paper in 1 :1 scale, I wonder if there's an easy way to set the magnification on the screen such that the parts can be viewed in full scale - so that a 10 inch long part is 10 inches long on the screen.

No.

Fusion would have to know what your monitor's physical size is and its resolution setting to figure that math out.

Nah, just use a ruler and the Zoom wheel.

....then right click on the view cube and set as your home position so that you can return to Home at any time.  The audience will get a better 3D impression if you rotate around a bit.

I doubt they are going to measure the image on-screen with calipers.

A very interesting and creative idea - thanks!  Thinking outside of the box : )
