What I needed was QT_SCALE_FACTOR

Right, as included in my first reply in this topic … No further comment.

I changed this in my config file, then discovered that QT_SCALE_FACTOR is controlled by Edit>Application Preferences>General>User Interface

True, changes to preferences are stored in the QCAD3.config file.

The exception is the grid co-ordinate labels

Perhaps you can (not) look that up in my first reply in this topic.
Default is 9px (times 1.7) … Try 8px (times 1.7) or try a different Ruler font.


In 2022 you disliked the same solution proposed by ryancousins and Husky. (post p38768 and post p38769)

@andrew

I was afraid of getting this kind of reply: you have confirmed my findings. The User Interface setting does change things and makes the whole display bigger; but the quality of the drawing display goes down horribly.

How does your Graphics View look with GUI Scale factor 1.7 under QCAD 3.32.3?
