How does one fix widescreen distortion (V5R11)?
(OP)
I have installed CATIA V5R11 on a widescreen notebook computer (1680x1050 resolution). When I view sketches, parts, etc., they look distorted on screen as if they are fatter although dimensionally they are not. Are there options to compenstate for this widescreen distortion? I cannot seem to find any in the Tools >> Options >> Display Menus.
The notebook computer I am using has an ATI Radeon 9700 graphics card, which is not a professional card, but it gets the job done for me. Would that play a role in the screen distortion?

CATWidthMMOfScreen=340 [display width in mm]
CATHeightMMOfScreen=200 [display height in mm]
Works fine on my hp pavilion zd7000.
Alternatively you could try another version of your display driver.

In the top window of the Environment Editor, I selected my CATIA_P3.V5R11.B11 global environment, which determines the list of variables in the bottom window. Then in the bottom window I added (right-click to add) two new environment variables as stated in lordrailie's post.
To get the proper dimensions of my screen, I just literally measured it with a plain ol' ruler.
