State Machine screen issue

Post by drphil69 » Tue Apr 21, 2015 12:06 pm

Hello,

I have an issue with the state machine screen on both 2.6 and 2.7. It started when I got a new computer with Windows 8.1. There seems to be an 'offset' to the placement of objects (states, transitions) on the screen. To select an object I cannot click on the object itself, I have to click above and to the left of it. On complicated screens it can be nearly impossible to select the object I want to modify.

Please advise.

Regards,
Phil

Unfortunately, PowerVision currently is supported on computers that have their displays set to 100% scaling. I suspect that your new computer has been set to > 100%. To check this, you should go to Control Panel->Display. From there you will see the section to "Change the size of all items" In Windows 8.0 and before you can set this to 100%. In 8.1 this is referred to as "Smaller"

We have been working on a new UI for PowerVision that is written in a UI Language that is compatible with newer computers but unfortunately other features have been a priority so the project has not been completed.
