Not sure if this works in 3DX but its worth a try -
type VIEWRES and increase the number to 3000 +/-
May slow down performance.

There is no VIEWRES in Max, but this is always a problem when Importing Autocad models. One option is to Import as a "Legacy Autocad (*.dwg)" file type. In the "Import" dialog, set the "Surface Deviation" somewhere between .01 and .05.
