Lines changing when double-clicked

[avaninecommuter]

Hi all,

I'm working in autoCAD 2011 and I have a quick question: When I open the drawing up from a recent save, all my polylines are not accurate and don't show curves. When I double click the lines, it adjusts itself and shows the curve that I had drawn. Why is this? Will this affect the file if I choose to plot it? Can I keep the lines curved and not have to double click every single line when I open the file just to see what it's supposed to be?

Thanks,
AC

Welcome to CADTutor.
You can use the REGEN command, which will regenerate the drawing, to show you what is really there. You don't need to double click on them.
Try setting your VIEWRES at the commandline to 2000.

The way it is displaying will not affect the printed drawing.

Thanks Dadgad, I'll give it a try!
