christreeroot Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Hi just a quick one, i have been applying trees and other items to a site. The shapes have smooth rounded edges but when i save the item and reopen later they have changed from for example a perfect circle to a hexagon. Also outlines for hatched areas have done the same and now the hatching protudes the boundaries. Hope that makes sense and any advice is greatly recived. Quote
ReMark Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Does Civil 3D have a Viewres command? If so, bump the setting up and see if that smoothes out the curves for you. Quote
christreeroot Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks ReMark, i forgot to say this is in cad 2007, although i have just tried to have a look in 2009 and it does the same Quote
christreeroot Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Does a REGEN sort out the problem? It makes it 85% better but the problem is still there.. Thanks Quote
christreeroot Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 Very strange i have just selected the items and hit ENTER which has sorted the problem. Does anybody have a clue what the problem was ? Thanks CJ Quote
rkent Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Arcs appear as straight lines Common causes: 1. VIEWRES is set too low (WHIPARC has to be off) 2. SHADEMODE has been set to other than 2D 3. WHIPARC is set to 1. (Viewres will have no effect when whiparc is set to 1) Quote
