We just recently upgraded to Windchill 10.0. Is there anyway to increase the font size in the windows?


Thanks!

At least with 10.0 m020 there are some issues when you change your browser zoom. If it is not at 100%, some screens will not show all of the items in some lists. It was mainly around the structure of wtParts that I remember and had to do with scrolling, either with the mouse or the scroll bar. Our users just keep it on 100%, so I haven't seen the issue for a while.

Yes, this is a browser function. Nothing to do with Windchill. A couple
of ways;

* "<ctrl><shift>+" increases your text scale

* "<ctrl>-" decreases your text scale

* Use <ctrl><scroll> if you have a scroll mouse and current
driver (this works in almost any type of window)

* Change browser zoom through menus (location depends upon
browser and version)

Thanks for the info. I'm using the embedded browser within Creo. Is there a way to increase the font and keep the scroll bars at the bottom and side of the windows? The control + and control scroll worked, but I lose the scroll bars then.

Thanks!

That works in stand-alone browsers (IE8), but it doesn't seem to have
any effect in the Embedded Browser (within Wildfire 4, in my case).



Any recommendations on how to increase font size for the Embedded
Browser?



Thanks,

Update: It seems that using the CTRL key+ Mouse Wheelfor zooming the embedded browswer does work within some of our Wildfire 4 / Intralink 10.0 installations after all. But it does not work on others. Even on systems using the same OS and same version of IE, sometimes the CTRL works; sometimes not. Not sure what the key factor is between works and does not work. Will have to keep experimenting.

Creo should add a config option to adjust font size in windchill browser . They have an option for default ui font and an option for font in menus and other dialog boxes. It would also be great if they could add an option to change the size of the Quick Access Toolbar. 

Seems more and more users are getting up in age and require some sort of adjustability for poor vision. 

Not to be "that guy", but all other CAD software have these options. 

 

We just moved to CREO 11 from 8.0 and I noticed my browser is not adjusting when I adjust my TEXT Scale from Windows settings, still very small even at 160%.
