From a QCAD user:

Can I adjust the size of the icons and text of the QCAD user interface? Everything is too small / too big.

Usually, QCAD should automatically recognize your screen and adjust its user interface accordingly. However, on some screens this detection might fail. In this case, you can adjust the user interface scale manually under:

Edit > Application Preferences > General > User Interface > Scale Factor

If your user interface is too small, try a scale factor of 2, if it's too big, try 0.5.

It's also possible to adjust individual font and icon sizes under:

Edit > Application Preferences > Widgets > Status Bar
Edit > Application Preferences > Widgets > CAD Toolbar
Edit > Application Preferences > Widgets > Toolbars
Edit > Application Preferences > Widgets > Tool Matrix
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Fonts

Hi,

I adjusted my scale to 0.5. After re-starting the application I could not longer view the toolbar properly to change it back. I un-installed QCAD and attempted to re-install, but it seems to have remembered the adjusted scale. I can no longer interact with the interface at this scale. Is there another way for me to change it back to 1?

Thank you,

Tristan
