    Default Sharp edge arcs and circles

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hello all, my Autocad 2009 keeps on mucking up my cicles and arcs every so often, and i dont know how to stop it. When i draw them, they tend to be fine, and smooth, but sometimes when i reopen a drawing the arcs and circles are all pointed, and the drawing looks naff. Is there any way to fix this?

    Kind regards

    David
