The x2d rated views are incorrectly calibrated in my documents. How can I correct this?

The problem of incorrectly framed dimensioned views in documents and too small or too large profile sections has been corrected from version 2.2.1.1510 onwards.

This correction is valid for Windows versions prior to Windows 7 except when using a secondary monitor on which Cover is displayed and which has a different resolution from the main screen (e.g. a laptop using an external monitor, whether or not the integrated screen is used, with a difference in resolution between the two).

We have put in place a mechanism that nevertheless allows us to solve the problem in cases that are not automatically supported, through a configuration file of which you will find a neutral example in the attachment.

Copy this file into the data\company directory of the Cover installation directory (by default c:\Cover\data\company) and edit its contents with the Windows notepad (notepad.exe).

Contents of the basic file :

{
  "widthRatio: 1.0,
  "heightRatio: 1.0
}

The file contains 2 scale factors, in width (widthRatio) and height (heightRatio) that you can adapt.

A factor less than 1 will reduce the size of the image in the documents, a factor greater than 1 will increase it.

Once you have made the change, save the file by overwriting the previous version, restart Cover (required) and check the effect of the changed settings on your documents. You may need to try several times before you get an optimal result.

N.B.: The presence of the file and its contents takes precedence over the detection of system settings by Cover, which may therefore affect the correct results generated in its absence.

Following a test run, for a screen size of 2560*1440 at 100%.

{
  "widthRatio: 0.6,
  "heightRatio: 0.6
}
