World Axes Icon: can you change size?

This is not a problem, but more of a tweak I would like to do after I installed some larger monitors. The world axes icon is apparently a fixed size, so it got smaller with the higher resolution. Is there any setting I can access to make it appear larger?

I only know of two settings that you can apply to the World Axes Icon.

  1. Visibility: Tools>Options>Document Properties>Grid>Grid Properties>Show world axes icon
  2. Colour: Tools>Options>Rhino Options>View>Display Modes>(Type Name)>Grid>Grid Settings>World axis icon color usage

Logically #2 is where you would find the size setting if one existed.

Thanks for the reply, but I have already tried those two areas. Changing the color helps a little, but I’d still like to hear from a McNeel staffer. I’m hoping there might be a command line ‘hack’ that would let me modify the size of the World Axes Icon.

Hi Dave- none that I know of, or can remember at any rate … if I can find out different, I’ll post back.

Pascal: thanks for the reply. I think it’s just one of those UI elements that is a fixed pixel size, so it gets smaller and smaller when you use a larger monitor with higher resolution.

I was hoping it was adjustable since the gumball can be modified…

This is on our bug list: http://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-23878

That sounds very cool and thanks for the update! Will it be addressed in an SR or the next full version?

Hi Dave- that is unlikely to be changed in V5, is my guess.

Hi, has this been fixed? In my Rhino 6 I see the axis very small, sometimes (especially in the perspective view) it is difficult for me to understand which direction I am looking to. Both in Rhino 5 and in Rhino WIP this is not an issue and axis are more or less usual size so I don’t think it is a monitor issue. Is there a way to enlarge / reduce the icon I have accidentally activated?

Go into Options, Advanced and type “axis” in the search box. You should get something like the following:

The first entry (size) can be changed to suit your needs.

HTH…

Thanks!

However it changes the length of the axis only, not the label unfortunately which is still not readable

Type “world” in the search box and change the “label size”

Fantastic, it worked! Many thanks!
