Manipulator Workbench Menus and Point to Point Alignment

[WhiteShadow]

Thank You!

I will try a few things:

1) I will try and change the % to 225 and see what the results are

2) I will uninstall MWB and reinstall the addon

3) Lastly, I will install FC 19

Seems weird to me as well that all of the other FC Icons, menus appear to behave at the default setting at 250%. I have run into apps that don't behave well at all with high resolution graphics and some are still catching up.

I will let you know how things go

Currently, the only thing that makes the menus behave is lowering the display percentage to 150.

Going to install FC 19...is that a beta version? and I am not entirely sure I understand how to accomplish that. I believe I understand that I need to grab the package from FC site and put it in one of the FC folders on my currently installed version? or is there a complete kit to run an install.

1) I see you have two video cards... please check if FC is configured to use the Radeon M270 card and not the internal Intel one. This could be the reason to the issue you are facing...

2) You can use FC 0.19 without installing it ... just downloading the 7z archive and simple extract it to a folder (i.e. C:\FreeCAD_0.19); then go inside the 'bin' folder and launch FC (0.19) ... in this way you can have both releases available to be used.
Here the place to download:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... g/0.19_pre
Search for Assets and grab the i.e.
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... nVS2015.7z
or
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... nVS2015.7z
(note that those last two links would become unavailable on the next build)
FC0.19 is a dev version, but is built on a much recent Qt release (Qt5.12 instead of Qt5.6) and moreover FC0.19 is very near to become the next stable. Anyway you can just test the results without the need to use it for normal jobs.

Seems weird to me as well that all of the other FC Icons, menus appear to behave at the default setting at 250%.

Manipulator WB is built on Macros using a dockable qt dialog widget, this is why it could behave differently from FC main app.

Graphics Card Radeon M270:

I made the Radeon Card the default graphics driver for FC. However, their is not change in the display in the dialogs when either graphics card is assigned. The problem is persistent.

Thank You!

@WhiteShadow
please keep an eye also on this topic
Issue with mixed resolution, high-DPI displays

[easyw-fc]

I can make the manipulator dialog box bigger, but they don't scale the content. In addition, the docking space for the menus is much larger than the initial dialog box, however, it also does not scale to the docking box size either. Not a python programmer, so sorry if I am making suggestions that would otherwise be no simple task.

Regards,

Hi @WhiteShadow
I've merged the latest HDPI improvements plus some tweaks for Qt5.6 & FC0.18 issue

Please have a try
