This applies to only a minority of Templot users, but may apply to you: I'm very sorry to report that there is a significant bug in the sketchboard function if you are using Windows dpi virtualization. That means: 1. On Windows Vista with the screen set to 120dpi (125%) or more. 2. On Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 with the screen set to 144dpi (150%) or more. These are not the default settings except on hi-resolution tablets such as the Microsoft Surface and some small notebook computers. So this does not apply to the majority of users. The effect of the bug means that items from the sketchboard are not correctly scaled or positioned when showing them on the trackpad, or including them in the print and PDF output, or when updating the sketchboard with a modified trackplan. I shall be fixing this in the next program update, or at least I hope so.  In the meantime there is a workaround which you can use to cancel the dpi virtualization: 1. right-click on the Templot icon on the desktop. 2. click Properties. 3. click the Compatibility tab: 2_190344_470000000.png  4. tick the box for "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" and click OK. The downside of this is that many dialogs may become too small to see properly. Fortunately Templot has a solution to this -- almost all dialogs have scaling buttons. You can click the down-arrow button a few times to expand the dialog size and make it more easily readable: 2_190355_570000000.png  I'm very sorry that this bug has remained in place for nearly 3 years now and a bit surprised that no-one has reported it. I will get it fixed. But just to repeat -- this applies to a minority of Templot users only. regards, Martin. |
