thankyou CtrlZ  ever so much your solution actually works and now i can see Iclone 7 .  It's a tiny bit blurry but nothing i can't handle and now i can use my favorite animation program . l i am so happy and gratefull .. yay  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem actually. As you know, I use iClone every day commercially to produce my STEM toon series, but I often have to strain to see details and often need to put my face within inches of the screen - especially when creating new character heads in CT8, and in the libraries where the folder icons waste so much space while the text under them is still so small... so its a problem with the whole suite, sadly. 

I strain because I need to do this, but unless something is done soon I fear the day is coming when I will need to switch back to more cumbersome software for no other reason than icons, text and popup windows that can be sized up. 😣😣😣

yes indeed  i did change it where you just said and that is the issue its too small for me 

Are you changing the Icon and Font size in Preferences (CTRL+P) to the largest of the three sizes? If you do that then it should be fine on a 4K monitor.

I mean i havent used iclone since august of 2017  sorry i didnt specify the year

why isnt it working on 4 k monitor still ?  I havent used Iclone since last august because it was too small on 4k monitor to use and i just reinstalled the latest version of Iclone 7.22 and its still too small and i cant read the fonts.  Why is not fixed a year later . ?  I dont get it , i mean i really can't use the program because it's too hard to read . I believe i was told all this would be fixed in version  7.22 and i hardly see any improvement and i dont want to use the manifest trick as that never worked for me. So now i am once again stuck not being able to use the program . Is it that i am an impatient person perhaps ?

[quote]it'll depend on your monitor size. I bumped up to a 40 inch 4K from a 24 inch 1920 by 1080. So the actual DPI is not super different, but a little smaller. I find 3DX quite usable with it. A smaller monitor would just not be large enough though. I was able to leave the iClone text size on "small" at this size.

Mike is right on the $$ here. Fist off, when you BUY 3DX 7 - it says NOTHING about a recommended monitor size! NEXT - I have 5 screens, and they are all 24" 1080 screens - I can guarantee you 95% of us are NOT using 4k monitors, so this is VERY disappointing, not to mention misleading by omission when you buy. THIRDLY, you still made NO mention on this being fixed with something OTHER than a 4k set of monitors. This tells me it will NOT be fixed. Thanks, but your answer just made this even MORE frustrating. :angry:  ~V~

3DXChange (not to get TOO far OT) is a disgrace.  Yesterday I had something I could not get exported (it would import, after about ten minutes, but then crashed XChange upon export) and guess what?  Version 6 worked just fine (so most likely a PBR issue).  At this point in time I could not, in good conscience, recommend anyone buying it (it's a bit like telling folks to buy a program that only runs on Windows 3 -- it's about that outdated).

The concerning thing?  Nothing in RL's roadmap even mentions it.  It talks about iClone, Character Creator, Popcorn FX, Motion Editor.. and the silence on XChange is deafening.  They *seem* to be hinting that CC3 will fill somewhat of the same role (or perhaps iC 7.2? in combination with it) but it's a huge leap of faith to assume it will also handle prop imports.  If we have to wait more than a year for them to fix all that's wrong with XChange it will cripple the efforts of RL to get their system positioned as a game developers platform.
