Tooltips showing snapping are too small, either on laptop or on added monitor. See attachment. I have read tutorials and manuals but no solution.Β Forum shows one similar (old) topic without a solution. My eyesight is fine. My screen has standard settings and scale is 125%. Setting the scaling to 150% helps somewhat but makes all the other applications and text too big. Which may mean the tooltip is inherently smaller than everything else. Windows 11.

I'd try selecting the measure tool, and setting the Font Size larger there. That setting also controls the tooltip size in snapping.
Wow ! It was not obvious !
That is it! @TylerDurden, thanks so much. This is something I have been searching for intermittently for 10 years!
