How to change your Display Settings for DS|Design v6

DS|Design will not run properly in Vista or Windows 7 when the Display Settings are not set to the default settings:

Windows 7: Set your Windows Display to “Smaller - 100% (default)”. DS|Design v6 will not run correctly if you changed your settings to “Medium (125%)” or “Larger (150%)”. If you try to run v6 with your display set to 125% or 150%, DynaSCAPE will warn you to change it to the default.

Vista: Set your Windows Display to “Default scale (96 DPI)”. DS|Design v6 will not run correctly if you changed your settings to “Larger scale (120 DPI)” or to a “Custom DPI”. If you try to run v6 with your display set to 120 DPI or a custom DPI, DynaSCAPE will warn you to change it to the default.

Note: For now your computer's default DPI must be used unless Legacy rendering is selected. Restoring the flexibility to choose custom DPI settings will be addressed in a future release.

1. Click on the Start button
