Strange , I have noticed a lot of -1 scores lately for Posts , usually for no apparent reason ..... I'm not even that sure most take notice of the Rep scores , but still a bit strange.... perhaps it's about the "Topic" rather than the "Fix" or anyone personally? M.

Did SkeyLargo ever say if they are using Display scaling in Windows 10? eg at 4k is is standard to use 200% I believe https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/windows-10-display-scaling/ Thanks , I will save your "Hack" Info in case Windows Scaling in Win10 doesn't workout for me on my Surface 3, but something they suggest for the Surface is to try turning off HIgh Dpi capabilities for the Program and see if it helps. Change application properties In Explorer or on the Start menu, right-click the application name, select Properties, select the Compatibility tab, and then select the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings check box. Note In Windows 10 Version 1703 and later version of Windows, the text of the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings option is changed to Override high DPI scaling behavior, scaling performed by: Application. Found here:https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/3025083/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices and here: https://www.howtogeek.com/175664/how-to-make-the-windows-desktop-work-well-on-high-dpi-displays-and-fix-blurry-fonts/

I know it works in Games , It Renders it at 4K ,which is then resized to fit your Screen , it's mostly used to test GFX Cards at different Res. in Games for Performance numbers I think. eg running a game at 4K vs FHD or QHD res. At Full screen 1920 x1080 I think you need x4 for 4K (3820x2160) to simulate the number of Pixels.... best to check though....

Found it.....Joe Carrick was kind enough to post a couple over the Years....

you could perhaps try it with DSR Factors in the Nvidia Control Panel , however I am not sure it it only work in 3D , which may mean it only works in Overviews etc.... use a multiple of you current res. to get 4K eg x2.25 or x4 etc....

I would call TS or Sales , they should know , or emailing Training and Ask them , I'd think they would be aware of Schools etc as they do Academic Licensing, we don't get many Students here that I am aware of which is why you didn't get many Replies I'd think. training@chiefarchitect.com https://www.chiefarchitect.com/academic/

I think I saw a Free Roller Door in the Symbols Forum a While Back which was supposed to work better in Plan View Chief 20? as in X10? it's good to have your Forum Signature filled in please, especially with the Software Version, and of course a Name is nice too ..............see mine below in Blue for how to do that.

The Icon Hack I remember was to use X6 Icons in X7 , not sure it helps Chopsaw but here is the Word file I made from the Forum back then... M. Using X6 icons in X7.docx

you're Welcome , try the compatibility settings , see if that helps your dimension issues perhaps ....

have you turned line weights on by accident ? either there ot with the Icon , usually on the RH side Taskbar? all these issues maybe due to using X5 in Win10 ? not sure if you can run chief in Win7 compatibility mode and it will make a difference?

have you changed your minimum line weight size ? in Preferences>Appearance is it 0 ? 10? i leave it on 0

I guess we all need to swamp the Beta Reporting Site with a Report

tried a few and it seems you are right , so make a Report and hopefully it will be fixed for the Final Release... M.

Samsung's NVME SSDs (960) are about 4 times faster than their Standard Sata SSD (850/860) too if you have a .M2 port on the Motherboard ( or buy a PCIe Riser Card) ...but both are much faster than a HDD, you soon get "used to it" and it becomes "normal" and expected though. M.

I recently saw a website or page with Airplanes and Spaceships , maybe in the User Galleries ? I can't seem to find it again now.... M.

are the doorways touching in plan view? looks like it is still trying to place framing.... you could post the plan file so others can look.... also it's good to have your Forum Signature filled in please especially with the Software version, and of course a Name is nice too see mine below in Blue for how to do that..

can you be more specific on exactly which symbold those aerre , and I can try it here...and make sure it not a Videocard issue for example

I seem to remember an Icon Pack or Hack for X7 when upgrading from X6 to a higher Res. Monitor...... I guess changing the Cursor size in Windows doesn't help with the Chief Cursors ? I don't have X6 installed now to test this ....

This happens on me occasionally , usually after an Update too, even with Hide Taskbar on, and I usually find CA is Filling most of the Screen (98%?) but is not Maximized (fullscreen) as Chopsaw pointed out. ie Click on the single square between the - and X to maximize the window.

I would Try Printing to PDF at 1/8 Scale , ( current view is not to scale- so maybe no good for Subs) then email the PDF to your Subs if Good. Not sure why it would only happen on one floor but the only other thing I can think of is the is an option to Rotate Text with the Plan, so if something is screwy with the Rotate Plan check box in the Text Defaults somewhere perhaps it might effect this? M.

So Edit Handle size doesn't help eg 8 pixels in this Case? it maybe related to the DPI or Windows Scaling if the new Computer has a Higher resolution Screen eg 4K older programs like X6 are not "DPI Aware" so things maybe tiny if that's the case . Please see my signature below and fill yours in too...see the Blue instructions...thx.

Looks like the Web Push Notifications aren't working Properly , I don't let Chieftalk use them, so assume I don't see it for that reason... CT will of asked at some point if you want notifications , so probably in Settings you can disable it or Remove that Permission.... if not in Settings then likely in your Browser's Options or Settings...

Are you Printing to Microsoft's Windows 10 PDF Printer? I don't think X5 had the Print to PDF like X9 or X10? I Use the free BullZip PDF Printer instead and have found it pretty Good...No Ads and no Adware like CutePDF and some others tag onto the Download sometimes. They also have a Free PDF reader , PDF Studio , which allows merging etc and a few other basic features. http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php http://www.bullzip.com/products/stu/

Me too , I Printed to PDF to save Paper and Ink though... not sure if that makes a difference? Ira PDF 2_Test.pdf

I would email Chief Sales or Training and ask or post in the Sales Forum perhaps instead Since CA staff are in there more Often.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/4-sales-related-questions/ https://www.chiefarchitect.com/company/contact.html
