How To Make Larger Icons and Menu

May 12, 2020

 

So I got this question on the channel. How do you make these toolbars bigger? How do you make everything easier to see in Fusion 360 coming up?

Hey, Tyler Beck with tech and espresso today, I'm going to talk really quick about how to enlarge everything for Fusion 360. So as you can see, this is actually already set up pretty big. Um, if I go to my settings in windows, so I'm in windows 10 and it's going to be a little bit different in Mac. I'll try to make a separate video for that one. I have two displays going. I can't even see everything. I've got it. So big. So, um, select the monitor that you care about and come down to, uh, your display resolutions, probably something you're working in regularly. I'm changing pretty often because I do a lot of demonstrations. And, um, then when I make videos, sometimes I want to be in 4k, look a little bit better, or I need to film in 10 80, things like that. So, um, I am changing, but here is the scaling setting and you can actually completely change it, go beyond the suggested.

Right. And I wouldn't do that. I try that. And it was just massive. So I'm at one 75. If I go down to a hundred for this particular monitor, minimize it, find Fusion 360. So a little bit smaller, right? So let's, let's try another one. We'll try advanced skill settings and we're going to go crazy this time. We're going to go to two 50. That's just nuts, hit apply, and then I have to sign out. All right. So I'm signed back in and it's pretty hard to navigate windows 10 at this scale setting, but if you can and want to, all right, it's loading Fusion 360 and it's massive.

 (01:52):

So I guess this is sort of workable. Let's try it. So let's try it. So we do a sketch and come here. Jeez. So this would be a, yeah, this would just be silly, but, um, yeah, if this is helpful, um, one thing to keep in mind as well is there is the magnify capability in windows that you can just magnify what you care about and look at a toolbar for a little bit. So sometimes that might be helpful, but Hey, so if you're trying to learn Fusion 360, I've got a series for brand new users. Check that out here. Um, or maybe check out this other video as well for my channel. Thanks for watching.
