Civil 3D Quick Tip: Improve Text Display in the Label Style Editor

If you’re someone who creates, or edits Civil 3D label styles, you may find the text in the editor to be a little challenging to read.  In today’s installment we’ll look at a quick way to resolve the issue.

First let me mention that I typically work on a laptop having a screen resolution of 1920x1080.  The laptop is capable of displaying 4K resolution, I simply prefer the look and feel of working in traditional HD.  I mention this because the issue I’m going to show you may not affect everyone.  It’s likely caused by a combination of things related to hardware and screen resolution.

Fortunately, if you are experiencing the issue, it can be resolved by simply toggling off a setting in Windows.  If you are interested, I’ve created a quick video below that walks through everything…
