Archicad 27 Interesting Pen set Issue

Sefa Yakut
Booster

When I want to change the color of a line in Archicad 27 on my Windows 10 computer, the pen sets are sorted in a strange way, not in number order. It's like some kind of software bug. How can I solve this problem? I am attaching screenshots below.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I am guessing in your Windows system settings you have scaled your screen display so it is not 100% ?

Thank you very much for your help. I remember that this problem was not present in Archicad 26. Graphisoft should provide a solution for this because sometimes it is necessary to change the scale to see better on high resolution screens.

I find it better to reduce the screen resolution.

Then there is no need to scale.

Anybody here has encountered this same problem? We have a workstation in our office where his layout or view pen set is set to our office standard while on the Ctrl + T window, the pen set is arranged in a random pattern. This is causing some hassle on his part as instead of clicking instantly based on the arranged pen set, he still needs to hover on this random pattern.

 

You can see below our office standard and the modelling pen selection.

I already tried resetting the Workspace Settings, Repair and Reinstall of Archicad but it still persist. Probably this is computer setting based? Thank you in advance.

I have merged your post with this which is the same issue for which you will see the solution.
