AAAARGH!!! External Monitor/laptop alignment isues!
April 01, 2016 05:44PM
I absolutely love StrokeIt, I've used it with AutoCAD for years. Now I have to use a laptop and an external monitor at a new job, and I'm having a really annoying problem. The gestures draw perfectly normal, following the cursor on the laptop's screen...but on the external monitor, the gestures are drawing off to the right of the cursor by almost 6"!

I also installed StrokesPlus, but I get the same exact nonsense. AAAAARGH!!! WHYYY???

Curious. I have two external monitors at 1600x1200 and a tablet at 2160x1440 and I have no issues... What are your resolutions and how is your extended desktop set up? Are you using "recommended" resolutions?

Well, I actually have my external monitor set-up as my "main" monitor now, so it's all good. StrokeIt still has the offsetting problem on the smaller laptop screen, but that's why I have the bigger monitor, for my main work. Boo Yah!

This issue is due to different scaling on your monitors. You need to have both at 100% else you will get the offset on the second screen or on some applications that are handling the scaling differently (like Thunderbird).
I've also found if you shutdown StrokeIt (from main window) and then restart it, it seems to reset the graphics for the gestures.
