I recently obtained a new laptop that has a 15.6" UHD (3840 x 2160) display. I am having trouble getting Microvellum Toolbox to display correctly with Windows 10 High-DPI scaling. The Windows 10 recommended scaling setting is 250%, which is ridiculous because everything ends up so large, there is hardly any screen real estate. I have tried setting the scaling to various settings, but the only two that seem manageable are 175% and 200%. However, at those settings, Microvellum Toolbox is a bit of aSMA product position
I am wondering if anyone has an answer for "how to place the product in X,Y,ZED. Example, this SMA was input at 0,0,0 for location and here is where it ended up. The only correct 0 was in ZEDDados have giant arcs in them

If I remember correctly, you used to be able to set the color of a layer used for a part by putting an * after the layer, with the color name/number. Ex. DRAW3DBOX LAYER*150. This doesn't appear to function anymore. I would like it back, or ideally somethingAdjustable shelves
