Scale UI

horewa — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 02:34:21 GMT

Please add a user interface scaling feature. It would be very helpful, as I am used to the Windows UI scale being at 100%, but in Archicad the UI fonts appear too small. I would like to be able to enlarge them to 1.25x or 1.50x, which would be great. I know I can change the Windows scale to 125%, but that makes all the other application icons change too, and I think that's too big, especially the browser, which ends up cropping a lot of the display. Thank you.

Operating system used: Windows 28.2.3

Can you not open the Properties of the Archicad executable file and change the scale within there for the High DPI settings? I don’t use Windows much but I understood you could change the UI scale for specific apps separately the OS?

I’m not entirely sure which setting you need to change there, I’ll try and find out. I very rarely use windows. I have an installation of Archicad in Windows 11 through Parallels and have to change those settings for the older Legacy versions of Archicad so they don’t appear microscopically small. I’ll try and open it up and have a look at what I have set.
