68.3 Scaling the size of icons

The default size for icons in toolbars and toolboxes is 24 × 24 pixels. The default size for icons in the Model Tree and the Results Tree is 16 × 16 pixels. You can specify a scale factor to increase or decrease the size of these icons so that they appear at a size that is appropriate for your display resolution. For example, increasing the icon size scale factor to 1.5 prompts Abaqus/CAE to display toolbar and toolbox icons at 36 × 36 pixels and Model Tree and Results Tree icons at 24 × 24 pixels.

Changes to icon size are implemented when you restart Abaqus/CAE. Your selected scale factor is saved for future Abaqus/CAE sessions.

To scale icon size:

  1. From the main menu bar in any module, select ToolsOptions.

    The Options dialog box appears.

  2. Display the Icons tabbed page.

  3. Click the arrows to the right of the Scale factor field to increase or decrease the size of icons in Abaqus/CAE. The maximum scale factor is 3; the minimum scale factor is 0.5.

  4. Click OK to apply your specified configuration and to close the Options dialog box. You must restart your Abaqus/CAE session to view your changes.
