PGuatney Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Does anybody know how to wrangle this command line back to normal? This is a new installation of ACAD Mechanical 2016 on a new laptop running Windows 10. I have been to the DISPLAY tab under OPTIONS and set the command line font to 8, the smallest it offers. Clicked all the apply buttons. No change. Restart does not fix it. This new laptop has a very high resolution: 3840 X 2160 in a 15" monitor. Could this have something to do with it? I will attach a screen shot. Thanks, PG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDraw Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I don't think AutoCAD is supporting those higher resolutions, yet. I've seen a couple of discussions on it here. Did you try searching for other threads on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall one of the hotfixes addressed the problems with high resolution displays. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/downloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Does this adequately explain the problem you are having? If the answer is yes then this may be of some help. I don't vet this stuff; that's your job. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Odd-graphics-display-when-working-with-a-high-resolution-high-dpi-monitor-in-AutoCAD.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I have been to the DISPLAY tab under OPTIONS and set the command line font to 8, the smallest it offers. You can type in as low as 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
