      Anyway of manually scaling the fonts in some plugins? Windows 8.1 has very good 4k support so everything works 99%, just a few plugins causing eyestrain πŸ˜‰
      BST tool is especially bad as the font size when picking components is about 1mm high now no matter how I try to scale system fonts in windows. Not sure what is going on there. Any ideas?

        SketchUp has known issues when plugins use certain techniques such as view.draw_text on high dpi displays. The text (or other graphic) comes out tiny and the only way a user can enlarge it is to shift to a lower dpi display mode (which, of course, decreases the resolution of everything on the screen). Hopefully Trimble will address this someday, as it make certain plugins nearly unusable.
