right proportion on the screen

[bamsek]

Elou,

I'm trying to be good measurement engineer and doing my programs as good as possible, but last time I've bought new monitor with bigger resolution and nicer kontrast.

Problem is with this: on previous resolution 1600X1024 proportion were 16x10 and circle looks as a circle. RIGHT now my circle in res.1920X1200 looks like a elipse which doesn't look nice especially on the reports.

Monitor is recognized as a right monitor in system and drivers are installed correctly, but is it possible to see right proportion on the screen?

Have you got the same?

thank you for your help.

Well, depending on your monitor, you will need to use different resolutions. If you are using a regular sized (proportioned) monitor, same ratio as a TV, you should be in 4:3 ratio. At 1600, you should use 1600x1200 (4:3). If you have a wide screen monitor, then the resolution will probably need to be 16:9 ratio to get correct looking picture. What monitor do you have?

What monitor do you have?

FLAT MONITOR: HP LP2465

conect to analog output.

Try using 1920x1080 or 1920x1024 and see if that give you a correct proportion. if it is a 'standard' wide-screen ration, it will be 16:9, so using 1920, the other resolution should be 1080 (but 1024 is close enough if that is your only choice).

Set your video card to use the native resolution for the monitor and that should correct the problem.
I use a Samsung 21" widescreen and the native resolution is 1680x1050 with no problems

Unfortunatelly I don't have any other option for different resolution on my graphic card and avaible are:
1920x1200
1600x1200
1600x1024
and smaller ...

I was trying to find native resolution, but it's too hard at the moment.

Thank you for your help

1920x1200 is the native res for that monitor....

Resolution??? I read that your reports are the issue. Is this the orientation of a CAD picture on the screen capture? Your monitor resolution should not have an effect on the report.

It will if he does a screen capture, ya get what ya see, in that case.

If he is set at native res then it should be ok. Does PCDMIS have a setting that overrides this? I only have the non-proportional problem when using non standard (non-native) resolutions.

bamsek,
What do you get if you draw a circle using a drawing program (other than PCDMIS), such as Paint. Does the circle look eliptical in that program also?

[bamsek]

elou again,

when I draw circle with SHIFT in Paint, circle looks as a circle,
I mean is regular.

Sou the problem is only in PCDMIS.
