mgt Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 My coworker asked this question: When one does a Command-3 (or view at 100%), why is it not the actual scale? He even put a ruler up to the screen to show me. Actually, I wonder if any graphic program can show actual scale on screen. I'm not sure how useful this could be, but I'm curious.

CipesDesign Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Try this with different monitors set to different screen resolutions. I think it has to do with the resolution settings (ie: pixels per inch). BTW, mine is off by about 25%, too. PC Quote Link to comment
ccroft Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 A 19" flatscreen CRT run at 1280 x 960 will provide a screen image that is virtually 100% of real world provided the geometry of the monitor is adjusted correctly. It is indeed controlled by screen size and resolution. Quote Link to comment
