17.2 vs. 16.6 Menu Icons are small - How to Fix?

Hello, I have 17.2 running and the menu items are very small - too small to use for designs.
16.6 runs just fine all icons are scaled appropriately for the resolution as seen in the pic.

Resolution is 3840x216 and it is scaled appropriately windows 10. Is there a way to change the settings in 17.2?

The environmental setting "TBICONSIZE" controls the toolbar icon sizes, you can make the change in User Preferences (Setup > User Preferences) under the UI > General Category.

Hope this helps,
Mike Catrambone

Thank you Mike, I was able to change the icons to large - but the options, find, visibility side menus are still very small -
Is there way to go back to the 16.6 menu style? I have the legacy menu checked but that does not revert back to 16.6.

Make sure you have the latest Cadence 17.2 ISR, this should auto-size both the Allegro font and toolbars for 4k monitors.

The extra space in the Find tab is due to the new "find by query" feature. I believe this is enabled by default if you are running the latest ISR.

http://support.cadence.com then Software - Download Software. There is also Download Manager which is an app on your PC that is installed when you installed 17.2. You can use that as well.
