Does anyone know how to change the size/spacing of the displayed measurement on the screen? When I use the "Measure Item" for an XYZ of a point, the resulting values are stacked very closely together, making the values very difficult to read.

I've attached two images. One image is what it looks like when I do a measurement. The 2nd image is from an internet search, showing the dimensions spaced so they can be read easily.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Fernando,

Thank you for the response.

I couldn't find anything in the settings as well. I've noticed many images online showing "readable" spacing in the resulting measurement, which made me curious on how to change the display. Not sure if you noticed the two images I attached, but one image is very clear to read, while the other image (one generated from my Catia session) is very close together and hard to read.

Anyway, thank you again for the response!

Are you using Windows 7? Check Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display and try setting the Text Display size to smaller. That seems to resolve a lot of the issues regarding text size within CATIA Interface, dialog boxes, etc.
