Question

What is ScaleCoordinates Migration tool in UiPth studio?

Answer 1

Hello Ujjwal, The ScaleCoordinates migration tool is a command line utility which is used to normalize the CursorPosition and ClippingRegion properties of the recorded automation so they work on any DPI in UiPath Studio v2018.2. It is automatically deployed with UiPath Platform and can be found in the installation directory by the name of UiPath.ScaleCoordinates.exe.

The tool comes in handy when having to deal with non-standard DPI. Any other scaling than 100% is considered to be non-standard. So to run a workflow in Studio v2018.2 which was designed at a non-standard DPI in a previous version of Studio, you need to use the ScaleCoordinates tool to migrate it. Since workflows that were designed at standard DPI should work out of the box, the need for this tool is rare.
