Change Size of 3D Text

[EmptyGroceryBag]

hi, all, I just got a new laptop with a very dense 15" display. I've managed to scale the toolbar icons with the system, but the text, dimensions, and constraint symbols in the viewport are very small and hard to read in comparison to the rest of the UI. Is there any way to increase the size of these elements?

I'm not sure about changing the size of text...

but first you want to check your units: Tools + Options + Parameters and make sure the Length in set for Millimeters

Yes, length is set for Millimeters.

(Did you change the image? It looks different)

The constraint size looks correct to me. I've never been able to figure out how to change the size either.

The tree diagram looks awfully small. click on the white axis in the lower-right corner to make the tree active, then zoom with the mouse to change the size. When you're happy, click on the axis to re-activate the sketch.

No, the picture is the same. The tree is zoomed in all the way already. The font of the dimensions is very, very small on my display. There's got to be some scaling option

Check this out !

Also if you want to resize the text in the specification tree you can use Ctrl + Zoom wheel on mouse.

Thanks, constinruja, for your response. Unfortunately, the property you've pointed out doesn't actually scale the font size. I think it's very strange that CATIA doesn't have this sort of option. I would imagine that it is used on high density displays all the time in the industry.
