Request for Assistance: Fixing Paint Tool Size Independently of Zoom

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with the Paint tool in Slicer where the tool size changes along with the zoom level when using Ctrl + mouse wheel to adjust the slice view. I would like to keep the Paint tool size fixed and independent of the zoom level to maintain a consistent size.

Here are the details of the issue:

  • Operating system: Windows 11
  • Slicer version: [Your Slicer Version, e.g., 5.6.2]

Expected behavior: The Paint tool size should remain fixed and not change with the zoom level in the slice view.

Actual behavior: The Paint tool size changes dynamically with the zoom level when using Ctrl + mouse wheel to adjust the slice view.

Despite trying various approaches, I have been unable to find a solution. I am reaching out to see if anyone can assist with the following:

  1. Is there a setting or feature available in Slicer that allows the Paint tool size to be fixed independently of the zoom level?
  2. Are there any plugins or additional tools that can help with this issue?
  3. Are there any updates or solutions related to the version of Slicer I am using?

I have reviewed Slicer’s official documentation and wiki, but I was unable to find a direct solution to this issue. Any advice or insights from your experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

In that version you can click the % button to toggle.

In newer versions there’s a more explicit absolute button.
