Pixelated UI under Windows 10

Hello. I have just received my first PC ever to be able to render my F360 models faster than I currently can on my Mac. But … the UI in Fusion 360 looks horrible compared to how it looks when I use F360 on my Mac. I have read the documentation regarding "high resolution monitors" etc, and checked the High DPI-option in the prefs, played around with various graphics driver options … but it still looks awful under Win 10. I'm using a 4K LG Ultrafine monitor at native resolution (3840 × 2160).

 

What am I missing here? Please help a Mac-head that wades around in unknown pc-territory. Attaching a screenshot on how it looks in both OS:es (PC at top, Mac at bottom).f360 mac vs pc.png

Try going to settings/display on your PC and make sure that the Scale and Layout is set to 100 percent.

If I set scaling to 100%, everything in Windows get so small I can't read anything. Also, due to the poor (compared to apple's previous own monitors) PPI on my LG monitor, pixellation is very prominent on all items. And yes, I'm talking Windows UI here. The recommended scaling in Win10 is 150%, which gives a (somewhat) balanced ratio between clarity & size. All other apps look (somewhat) good on this scaling setting. All, except for Fusion 360.

That is the problem, Fusion does not like anything but 100 percent scale. There was a previous post about it somewhere here. It is another annoying feature of Fusion.

Oh, ok. If that's the case, I better stick to modelling in F360 on my Mac, and render and do all the other stuff on my PC.

What does this setting in preference do? Not sure if this will help. Also see this page for HighDPIScalling.
