small icon problem with 4k screen

[jojojo]

I hope you can help me because I can't find a valid answer anywhere... .

I bought a new laptop. with 4k screen and windows 10

(among other things I tried to download the trial version of autocad 2018 from the autodesk site, but it does not install it in any way... Do you know if there is any conflict with windows 10? ? ? )

Anyway... I installed a "old" 2016 and solved the problem... sin that is unusable.... it is all microscopic.... already from the opening of the program I noticed that there was something strange, because the window that appears at initialization (to be the one with written the name of the program that you are trying to open), was smaller than normal...type 5 cm for 3
then when I set the "classical screen of autocad" (I know I should evolve but I like more) the drama.... icons are micro-nane-invisible that, I assure you, also choosing from the "big icons" options, these remain too small to be able to work without sticking the face to the screen. . .
on the contrary the writings are gigantic, although from options-font has given the minimum size of the character (i.e. 4) and being the small box practically the thing written inside turns out unreadable

... removing the "classic of autocad" and resetting the ribbons the icons return to have a humanly visible dimension. . However, whatever has a text is unreadable...the pointer remains very small (if the size increases only the "cross" and the square remains invisible). ..to not speak for example of the word "wireframe 2d" on the top left of the window or the cloth that is under viewcube

I tried to lower the resolution from 3000 to 1300....but the only result obtained is that you see terrible. ..but everything remains micronano.... I attach the screen image someone who can help me please?

Unfortunately, it is a subject already dealt with.
the only way is to lower the resolution of the windows screen to the maximum at 1920x1080.
you will have a bit of gear due to the downscale that the panel has to do to represent a number of non-native pixels, but the only way to see the icons and menus of autocad
I'm sorry.

However, I believe that a 4k on the monitor of a laptop is a madness made only to sell to those who are attracted by the supermegarisolution. the retina of the eye is not the degree to solve that density of pixels at the distance to which the monitor is looked, so they are actually represented but impossible to see for the eye. They may be suitable for a 55", but at a 15" if everything goes well...

I know I've written a long question, but... but it's not the solution for me... it doesn't work... even lowering the resolution the icons remain small....you only see worse, but it's all small.

said that...if the screens do them so what should I do according to you...write to the asus and tell them to mount another screen?

strange behavior your monitor. All monitors, if you lower the resolution, enlarge in proportion, is a fact of mathematics, not software.
sure to lower windows resolution (right-click on desktop blanks, screen settings, advanced screen settings, resolution)?
video card driver problems?

for the question you ask me about asus, I don't think asus does portable exclusively with 4k monitors. and not even to say that those with hd monitors are not professional. I'll give you an example http://www.eprice.it/notebook-asus/...gclid=cnkwx-tsxtmcfu48gwodtbabdg&gclsrc=aw.ds.
He does the 4k for those who want to buy them, and you chose to buy it, all there.

small addition, reflecting on the image of the initial quaint.
you have big texts, you acted on screen settings, change text size etc etc.
bring them back to 100% and put the resolution we say to 1920, then try how it goes.

considers autocad installation 2018, has support for 4k

 

[jojojo]

ok... reinstall autocad 2018 was the only solution. ...

I also have a laptop with 4k display, the problem of icons is solved but remains the problem of a little slowness of the cursor

 

[silviaorlandini]

I intervene to confirm that the problem of small icons and unreadable drop-down menus is resolved with autocad 2018... Unfortunately known the same slowness of wedges in the cursor movement and a very annoying black screen for a few moments when working with pdf references or raster images of a certain size... in the operations of moving or copying of these elements the design area becomes completely black.. then appear again.. very annoying!!!! 4k screen, nvidia graphics card with dedicated ram and work better on the basic laptop... help me....

I have the same problem, but what's the point of making 4k monitors if I can't use them at the max resolution? Is there anyone who explains that to me? or does it make sense why instead of working I can watch a movie?
curious

 

[Cristallo]

Well, let's say a 4k is more rated at imaging than cad.
said that, the question is different... What's the point of making a 4k on a 15/17 laptop?
exceeds the definition threshold perceived by the eye so it becomes simply (by the manufacturer) a "I have it longer" and on the part of the buyer a "be the coolest".
personal opinion, eh, be clear.
