Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
I can't see a thing. The lines are so thin, and the dimensions are crazy small. I've been through every "preference" I can find, and nothing seems to improve this. I mean, look at those dimensions...Can you read them? LOL. Keep in mind, this picture is larger than my screen version.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
That's funny, because dimensions on my sketches are almost comically large.
Maybe it has something to do with screen scaling. My laptop's screen resolution is pretty low (1366x768). Maybe yours is really high?

What does that word mean in FreeCAD? Look in the Glossary.
Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
The issue with perspective view is still present in 0.21. @dniezby, @wakyct, The size handling is highly version dependent (both your FreeCAD infos are missing ), so please check this out in 0.21 if anything beyond the perspective view doesn't work as expected.

Maybe. My resolution is 2880 x 1920. I'm on a Surface Pro X
Is this what you meant by "FreeCAD infos?" So, are you saying the weekly is too advanced? I should go to the regular release?chrisb wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 5:18 am The issue with perspective view is still present in 0.21. @dniezby, @wakyct, The size handling is highly version dependent (both your FreeCAD infos are missing ), so please check this out in 0.21 if anything beyond the perspective view doesn't work as expected.

Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
Well, the lines are still very hard to see but at least I've been able to improve the dimension size.
Now I just can't tell if I selected a line or now since they're so thin. Especially when I'm over a part and just need to select an inside line or an edge. No one knows a way to make the lines look thicker huh?

Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
There is a way, and I often do it when picking vertices. Select the object, and in the Property View panel there are values for line width, point size, etc.
What does that word mean in FreeCAD? Look in the Glossary.

I'll give this a look...thanks.

Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
Okay, I did find an option that SHOULD affect the line width, but it won't do anything. I can change the color of the lines; I can change the size of the points, but the line won't get any thicker. #baffled
It wouldn't be such a problem but it's VERY difficult to select some lines for constraints and for fillets etc. because they're sooooo thin. What about a style sheet? Are there style sheets that can be edited for this manually somewhere?
