    Hi,
    I am student in the field of Civil Engineering. I use AutoCAD on daily basis. I am running the latest Mac OS (Sierra) and I have Parallels 12 with the latest updates (12).
    The resolution is great for the windows I have no problem with any program except for AutoCAD. I use Microsoft office on Windows and couple of other design softwares with which I have no problems.
    In AutoCAD, I get some strange sizes of some text and I thus I can't use the program properly. Does anyone have a similar issue and how can I resolve it if possible?

    I have uploaded a photo. The problem is the same both in coherence and non- coherence mode.
    In the photo look at menu on the left.

    Hi @TsvetanD
    Pleas adjust the Windows virtual machine's configuration settings > Hardware > Graphics> change it to "Scaled" & keep us posted.

    Hi,
    I have this setting on. I just uninstalled AutoCAD 2015 and I am installing the newest version 2017. I will see what will happen then.
