I got a project running with a server with version Java 8. When I’m running the client with Java 9 all my objects are rescale or zoom ( I found it was 80%). If I uninstall v9 and go back to v8 on my client everything got back to normal. Anyone have solved that?

Are you using the native client launchers or webstart/JNLP to launch?

Ok, I haven’t seen or heard of this, so it’s best to call or email support to get an official ticket started.

Workaround:  
Could you use the new Client Launcher and create a desktop shortcut (or use one that you previously created from the new Client Launcher)  
right click the shortcut and select properties.  
append -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.0 to the “target” field.  
Launch the designer or vision client.

Caused by windows scaling

I suspected this was the issue… glad it’s figured out. Java 9 started respecting scaling / high DPI setups.
