Development Environment Rescales

[John1994]

Hello,

I am using a Lenovo P50s laptop, running Windows 10 with 2 additional monitors connected through the docking station. The built in display resolution is set to 2880x1620. The other monitors are set to 1920x1280. With LabVIEW opened and operating in the built in display the size of all LabVIEW program windows reduce by half when a VI is opened. (See attached images) It stays like this until I close LabVIEW. When I open it again it starts out as "normal" size then reduces again. I am not seeing this with any other programs on my PC. Has anyone seen this before? I am having a difficult time determining if this is a LV or Win10 issue.

Labview program scaling is painfull, yes...

Something - width and location of vi, other windows, elements and their parts both on block diagram and front panel is specified in absolute pixels. Other things - application fonts (that affect height of strings and elements like unbundle, width of text), parts of NI windows (that are based on web pages) try to adjust to changed resolution based on windows, browser, LabVIEW rules.

Sometimes there is a checkmark in VI properties "scale panel for different resolutions" that affects not all of the elements.

Also LabVIEW font sizes specification is different from Windows font sizes. 

Also labview does not support vector images

Enjoy. And check all programs at OS, resolution and scaling settings you will deploy.
