Actual Size is larger than actual size
-
Selecting View>Actual Size results in a view that is approximately 55% larger than the actual size.
Mac Studio M2 Ultra
Apple Studio Display, resolution set to 2560 x 1440 (default)
macOS 14.2.1
VectorStyler 1.2.009 (beta)

@DMBrown Looks like vectorStyler cannot get the display resolution (pixels per inch) correctly for that screen.
I opened a bug and will try to find a solution for this.
-
@VectorStyler Thank you. Let me know if any additional information would be useful.
-
@DMBrown There is one thing to try.
In View -> Display -> Display Options you can try a custom resolution by unckecking the "Default Resolution" and setting the (now enabled) resolution field.
Try to find out what is the pixel per inch resolution of your display and set that number in the resolution field.
-
@VectorStyler Your idea seemed very promising, but, alas it did not fix the problem. Apple's specification for the Studio Display is 218 pixels per inch, which I used in the Display Options setting.
-
@DMBrown Was the on screen size (at actual size zoom) the same as before?
-
@VectorStyler No, setting the resolution in Display Options to 218 resulted in the Artboard being nearly twice as large.
I made measurements with the Artboard margins at 0, and, in Settings>Artboards, both the Margin Width and Frame Width at 0. The Artboard Frame was showing, and the Artboard had a fill color, differentiating it from the Canvas (a Large Canvas.)
I used a program entitled PixelSnap to measure distances on-screen. The programs Tolerance was set to 0.
My Artboard was 1000 pt x 1000 pt. Using the default Resolution and View>Actual Size, the Artboard measured 1554.4 pt. Using a Resolution of 218 and Actual Size, the Artboard was larger than the display. I set the View Size to 50% and measured an Artboard width of 1513.
For what it is worth, the Studio Display has a native size of 5120 x 2880; I am using a size of 1560 x 1440. I changed that to 5120 x 2880. VectorStyler's Actual Size was not the actual size. I don't recall the screen size of the Artboard. I can repeat the experiment if that would be useful.

@DMBrown said in Actual Size is larger than actual size:
5120 x 2880
Yes, this is the same as the iMac. I think there is a bug here somewhere, I will try to fix it ASAP.
