ReMark Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 It does look like portions of your drawing are made up of a multitude of small line segments. Were you planning on using Pedit on them? How did you draw this up to begin with? Did you measure off of something (like a photocopy)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Perhaps traced an image? Small segmented lines don't view too well. Pedit 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Perhaps traced an image? Small segmented lines don't view too well. Pedit 'em. yeah i took a jpeg and traced it on a new layer. How do you Pedit?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Invoke the Pedit command and use the Join option. Or just use the Join command. The command will take line and arc segments and "join" them into a contiguous polyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 i made everything a polyline and it still looks kinda crappy to me. is there anyother way to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankman Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I need to make this drawing a little more crisp and can't get it to work. Anyone wanna help?? Can't open the drawing, a number of us older forum members don't have 2010. You should save to an older AutoCAD version for posting; i.e.: although I use '07, I save as 2000 for posting and/or emailing my most trusted clients.

ReMark Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Why don't you define what you mean by "crappy". Post the drawing in 2000 file format and include a revcloud or circle around any portion(s) that meet your "crappy" criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 by crappy I mean that the lines on the s themselves are not very smooth. they have a lot of jagged little lines. sorry I didn't save it as an older file. I am new to AutoCAD as in I just started using it about 3 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am new to AutoCAD as in I just started using it about 3 weeks ago. Relax, save in an older *.dwg format; i.e.: 2000, repost. Not a big deal, we're all learning everyday.

I just was simply saying I didn't think about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
