in RobotStudio

Hello,

Software: VC  : 5.10

Real Controller : 5.10

I have the following problem. When creating a RAB application and watch it on the real controller the text in the screen looks ok. When I load this application in a Virtual controller the text is bigger! (See Picture)

The font I use in VS is Tahoma; 10pt.

Do anybody have a solution?

    Hello,

    Text size may differ slightly between the real device and the virtual FlexPendant, but not this much! Have you found out what caused this appearance on the virtual FP?

    Hello,

    No, still have the same problem. Do you got the same problem? Do I use the correct lettertype?

    Hi,

    I have worked with several applications in the real & virtual environment, but never come across anything like this.

    You should use the pre-defined fonts to save memory on the device, TpsFont.Font10 (= Tahoma 10). But I do not believe this is the problem. How come the first text in your screen looks the same in the two screenshots, but not the rest?

    Hello,

    I checked the font of the first to lines, it is "Microsoft Sans Serif; 9,75pt". This is working ok, but it's not ok for the memory then?

    I will give it a try for the other lettertype's. Will be in 2 day's. Thanks for the quick reaction.

    Greetings,

    Edwin

    Might have somethig to do with your desktop resolution, or maybe if you turn the Large Fonts setting on in your display setings.

    Hello,
     

    If I change the display properties of my laptop it does not make a different. Can I change something in robotstudio?

     

    I made a new screenshot. The highest label has the text property : Tahoma; 10pt

                                              The lowest  label has the text property :  Arial;      10pt

    I tried to change the resolution and the Large Fonts settings, lucky for me it did not work! It is not a options to work with a low resolution for Robotstudio and change it for working with exel!

     

    What can it be????

     

    Best Regards,
