GstarCAD scaling issue on high-resolution (high DPI) displays |
When run GstarCAD in a scaled window, and menu bars and the editor windows are somewhat blurry. follow instruction below to fix 4K or super high displays Issue.Step 1: Tell windows to prefer an external manifest fileAs always, make sure you backup your registry and tread lightly in this area. We are just going to add one line. This is VERY simple. Do not be intimidated.
For reference, here is a link to a Microsoft support file on the topic: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/912949/en-us
Step 2: Create and place the external manifest filesNow comes the fun part. You will just have to copy your manifest file to all of the application folders that you would like to change the scaling on. For example, gcad.exe is located at: C:\Program Files\Gstarsoft\GstarCAD2016\ and I created a manifest file in text editor named gcad.exe.manifest to place in that folder. For Windows to use the external manifest file, you will have to change the name of the the file to the executable of the application. Now place this file in the same directory as your executable. All of the ones listed above are are in pretty straight forward locations like
where 20XX as release version , e.g. 2015,2016 or 2017. That is it! It should look great now. No need to reboot or change anything else.
