Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
In Sketcher Workbench. I've tried every setting I can find. I was able to improve the font size so now I can see the dimensions. The lines are still so thin, it's hard to select them. In all my searching, I'm seeing that this has been a common complaint, yet I haven't found a solution.

You can upgrade to 0.21. There is a setting Preferences->Sketcher->Display->ViewScaleRatio which you can increase.

I hope you find it now, this setting is available in 0.20 as well.

Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
Yeah, adjusting the scale ratio did nothing. There is a new release that just posted about 30 min ago so I'm going to try that.
Honestly, I'm surprised that this is an issue. With the vast number of customization settings, and adjustments and everything else that can be done with this system, you wouldn't think that line thickness wouldn't be such an issue.

As I told you: there is a setting. It just doesn't work on your computer. I suspect that there is an issue with OpenGL or something else with graphics card or its driver.

Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
Crap, and the one thing you said that I was afraid of...OpenGL. Which I do NOT have on my computer. I'm on an ARM processor and the only way I could use this software was through a compatibility app from windows. I'll have to see if there is something I can adjust from there.
CURSES!!!

Re: Drawing lines and Dimensions...Waaay too small...How do I?
So, Chris...In looking into this issue further here is what I found on the compatibility. Does anything stand out to what you know about openGL?
This compatibility pack allows more of your favorite OpenCL™ and OpenGL® apps to run on a Windows PC that doesn't have OpenCL and OpenGL hardware drivers installed by default. If a DirectX 12 driver is installed, supported apps will run with hardware acceleration for better performance. This package supports apps that use OpenCL version 1.2 and earlier and OpenGL version 3.3 and earlier.
