For example, at 1/4" scale, the default 4 foot grid will actually display as 1" squares on screen. <BR /> <BR /> In order to accomplish this, ArchiCAD has to sense the current display resolution and the size of the monitor being used. Obviously it never worked with a projector, but I it seems to work fine with desktops connected to CRTs and various laptops, even if you change to a different resolution. I have seen this work on modest XGA screens and 1920x1200 (WUXGA) screens.<BR /> <BR /> All this seems true for the Windows version of ArchiCAD.<BR /> <BR /> I just noticed that it is not working on my Mac 15" PowerBook G4.<BR /> Another symptom is that when I use the Figure Tool (zoom set to 100%) and check the box for "Insert Figure Pixel by Pixel in Current Zoom", my Mac always assumes 72dpi, but the real resolution of my PowerBook is about 101dpi.<BR /> <BR /> Is there an ArchiCAD or system setting that I am missing?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks,<BR /> <BR /> Ransom</T></DIV> Tue, 17 Aug 2004 21:14:29 GMT Ransom Ratcliff 2004-08-17T21:14:29Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Installation-update/Scale-on-Screen/m-p/99394#M11678 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I have been taking for granted that when the zoom is set to 100%, ArchiCAD will display on screen a drawing at the scale listed at the bottom of the window.
