Smooth Lines of Curves in Draft

Unread post by ken »

Is there a way to make curved draft lines show and plot as smooth arcs? The curve itself is fair and shows as such on some of the views but on others it is very segmented both in the draft and when plotting (see image).

Change this one, but remember it makes the draft slower!

Thanks! I was able to get things looking better but for some reason, whenever I add any kind of exceptions to the view, it overrides my projection settings and I end up with a segmented look again. Not sure what is causing that... seems like a bug. Thanks for your help!

ken,

you have the same setting within tools>options. perhaps top solid reverts back to the value set in the options rather then keep the one from the document properties.
