Text and Button Sizes

You can set sizes for text and buttons from the Toolbars tab of the Customize dialog box.

  • Text in menus, tree items, dialog boxes, and PropertyManagers respects your SOLIDWORKS software or operating system text size selection.
  • You can set button sizes independent of the text size.
  • The larger button sizes facilitate running the SOLIDWORKS software on machines with high resolution displays.
  • For low resolution displays, dialog boxes are automatically resized when they do not fit on the screen, and scrollbars appear automatically.
  • To facilitate element selection on touch interfaces such as tablets, you can set up the larger size buttons from the Options menu (Standard toolbar).

To view the button settings, click Tools > Customize, and in the dialog box, select the Toolbars tab.
