Problem of screen geometry (the grid is not formed of squares)

[Christ70013]

Hi,

I am new to Freecad and I have an 'idiot' problem:

I am on Windows 10. On windows screen, square icons are square. Simple.

But on Freecad, the grid does not look square. The horizontal is 1.3 times the vertical.

So, my question: how to adjust the grid in Freecad to get a square to be square.

Even if that does not forbid me to do some work, it's disturbing to have oval circles and rectangular squares...

I hope someone can help on this.

Christian

Please attach your full FreeCAD info as described in the IMPORTANT forum rules linked above.

Hi ChrisB,

Thank you for your answer.

I am sorry, about my post. The problem is very weird, and it comes from Windows 10. Looks like it has a problem with my 4K monitor. If I set the zoom to 200%, then the screen geometry is wrong in FreeCAD (but other windows things looks OK).
I changed the zoom to 150%. And Freecad Is good now.

About your remarks, I set the information in my signature (I had to reduce it, since you limit it to 255 chars). I hope that it is a good practice here? (So I will never forget).

This is definitely a bad practice as your signature is shared through all your posts (even past ones). So when you'll upgrade and change your signature, old posts may totally lose sense.

Vanuan, any idea about that? is it a HighDPI issue?
