Sketch Constraint Size
Sketch Constraint Size
Is there a setting to increase the size of the constraint flags in sketches on high resolution monitors? My monitor resolution is 3840 x 2160 (Recommended) and I find that the constraints are difficult for me to resolve. I'm currently using SolidWorks 2022 SP1 on Windows 10 but I've been struggling with this issue since SW2018 when I upgraded to these monitors.

Re: Sketch Constraint Size
Unfortunately no (as of SW 2018 anyway).
You CAN however, vote for SPR 681941
I would add a picture, but I am getting the HTTP error again ( @matt ) when I try to add it (either by copying and pasting it in, or by trying to manually add it as an attachment)

Re: Sketch Constraint Size
In the monitors section of the Windows settings, you can set a percentage to make interface elements larger, like 125%. Does that change the icon size? @DanPihlaja Yeah, I'm getting the same thing. The host just forced upgraded everyone to PHP 8.0, but phpbb doesn't work with that so I set us back to 7.4. Hopefully that resolves things...SteveH wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 2:32 pm Is there a setting to increase the size of the constraint flags in sketches on high resolution monitors?

Re: Sketch Constraint Size
I'm not answering your question directly, but I have a mouse gesture to toggle constraint display and it gets used a lot.
Re: Sketch Constraint Size
Thanks for the suggestion. My current setting is 175%. I increased that to 300%, restarted SolidWorks and saw no effect (other than great big desktop icons and start menu).

When I added that picture in my original post I started by dragging it into the edit window. Then I selected "inline" from the attachment options.DanPihlaja wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 2:57 pm I would add a picture, but I am getting the HTTP error again ( @matt ) when I try to add it (either by copying and pasting it in, or by trying to manually add it as an attachment)

Re: Sketch Constraint Size
Do you mean the hiding and showing of constraints?
Or do you mean the display size?

Oh, ok, well, now we know that isn't the solution!

Re: Sketch Constraint Size
I remember on the old forum there were complaints that SW wasn't 4K ready.

I've done quite a bit of searching for this issue. I didn't find a lot of complaints about it. Could be my eyeglasses are wearing out.
Re: Sketch Constraint Size
Hiding and showing. The issue is, seeing constraints can be useful. But they can also be in the way a lot, especially if you find them too big. So a quick toggle to turn them on when you need them and off when you don't is how I have it addressed. As I said, doesn't answer the question, just a way to deal with the issue.DanPihlaja wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 4:04 pm Do you mean the hiding and showing of constraints?
