2560 x 1440 Resolution monitor and capture/pcb editor resolution help

cadSmith

Hello,

 I recently purchased a laptop with a really high resolution (2560x1440).   Most of windows type programs scale nicely but orcad and pcb editor do not.  All my icons and windows are very tiny which I work through by zooming in quite a bit.

 

Unfortunately the step package mapping dialogue window in pcb editor has the opposite problem.  It's very large and the bottom buttons (apply, ok, cancel) do not appear on the screen.  The window can be resized but the contents within the window borders do not scale so no matter what dimensions I stretch the window to I can not see the bottom area where the buttons are located.

 A scroll bar would really help the issue but the ability to change the resolution of dialogues and icons within the pcb editor program itself would be great.  Does anyone know how to go about configuring the software to work with higher resolution displays?

 

FYI:

I Changed the windows resultion down to 1920x1280 and even down to 1024x768 did not give me more step mapping dialogue visibility.

Thanks

  • I'm having the same problem with OrCad PCB v17.2. Version 16.6 worked just fine with my high resolution monitor (3040 x 2160), but in 17.2 the Visibility window is the only one that scales properly.  The Find and Options windows have very tiny button text that is partially obscured by the description above it, which renders it unreadable; and the menu buttons are also very tiny.  Adjusting the Font size doesn't affect the Find and Options windows.   If anyone has a solution please let me know!
