If Run Length Calculator is the Incorrect Size in IRRICAD Link
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2023 4:19 pm
In some cases the Run Length Calculator dialog may be the incorrect size, depending on your monitor setup and resolution.
This can be manually adjusted by following the below steps.
In IRRICAD Link for BricsCAD
1. With IRRICAD closed run Regedit.
2. Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AEI Software\Irricad BCAD\AppSettings.
3. Do you see a “DPIScale” string on the right-hand side? If so skip to step 6. If not you can add this – follow steps 4 - 5 below.
4. Select Edit at the top of the window, and select New | String Value
5. Change the name to "DPIScale" while still in edit mode.
6. Double-click on the “DPIScale” and change the "Value data" to "0.75" or other ratio to provide a better result. Close Regedit.
7. Restart IRRICAD.
8. Check the size of the Run Length calculator.
9. If the size requires additional adjustment close IRRICAD and follow steps 6 -8 until you are satisfied with the result.
In IRRICAD Link for AutoCAD
1. With IRRICAD closed run Regedit.
2. Go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AEI Software\Irricad ACAD\AppSettings.
3. Do you see a “DPIScale” string on the right-hand side? If so skip to step 6. If not you can add this – follow steps 4 - 5 below.
4. Select Edit at the top of the window, and select New | String Value
5. Change the name to "DPIScale" while still in edit mode.
6. Double-click on the “DPIScale” and change the "Value data" to "0.75" or other ratio to provide a better result. Close Regedit.

Note that this setting will also affect:-
- Irricad Options|Labels dialog
- Irricad Options|Layers dialog
However, the affect on these dialogs will simply be to make them slightly larger, though the effect could be different depending on the font.
