Is there any way to increase the size of the view triad or the main CSYS so axes labels (x,y,z) are more legible for a screen capture? Would be nice to have a Scale Factor option like you do for the Datum CSYS. There was one post in this forum which suggested changing screen resolution, but I don't want that affected for my image capture.

OK, to control the size of any on-screen non-geometric/drafting objects, such as screen text, points, coneheads, splats (asterisks), etc. go to...

Preferences -> Visualization -> View/Screen

...and select the large 'Calibrate' button in the middle of the section of the dialog titled 'Session Settings'. Now if you increase, using the horizontal/vertical sliders, the size of the 'circle', this will also increase the relative size of all of the on-screen objects I mentioned above.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
