tzframpton Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 oh, nevermind. F7 did the work for ya. lol Quote
Lance Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 There are slots available but the big problem is this is company's computer and not mine and they dont want to bother about this. Oh well....I think I need to be contended with this. I will just keep in mind that when I see circle that look like elipse they are circle when printed. Thank you very much guys. All inputs are well appreciated. yoooo. Thanks again. Quote
tzframpton Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 well i don't see how on earth you can stand to look at a skewed perception on your screen. ugh... lol, that would drive me nuts. Quote
f700es Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Well Lance..that sucks. I hate to hear about workplaces that have people in charge that don't know their butts from a hole in the ground when it comes to CAD equipment and what is actually needed. Good luck bro Quote
AVITWeb Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Check the settings on your monitor....is there a stretch feature there somewhere that may be distorting your display? Quote
tzframpton Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 stretch feature? i was never aware that monitors had such a thing. Quote
Lance Posted January 6, 2007 Author Posted January 6, 2007 Actually we are very happy when we received our new LCD widescreen monitor as we are using semi flat CRT before. All the excitement was gone when we open the autocad and found out about the stretch screen...at home I am using adapter with Nvidia capabilities. Do you think it is ok if I install the driver of my Inno3D Geforce4MX440 to my computer it out office even if my video card is different? Quote
edisonteck Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 you try type WHIPARC in command prompt,then type 1 and press enter...then,regenerate the window... Quote

tzframpton Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 for instance, check out This Video Card for only $37.00.... AGP 4X/8X 350MHz 128MB DDR DirectX 9 OpenGL 1.5 Max Resolution: 2048 x 1536 this is MORE than enough specs to run that monitor like it should, not to mention a trumendous upgrade on your current video card, making AutoCAD fly faster than before. you should seriously consider....

Lance Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks to all the reply. I can't do nothing anymore rather than buy a new vidoe card. But buying is beyond my will as this is not my pc but the company. I have learned so much on this thread. Thank you guys for all the help. Now I am not speculating anymore about what happened. Quote
tzframpton Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 lol no probs. can't beat $40 tho... haha. glad you're with us. Quote
f700es Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 lol no probs. can't beat $40 tho... haha. glad you're with us. I have had to install components in my "work" computers before. Sound card, USB card and video card. Just make sure they know and that you write your name on the card with a Sharpe pen. Quote
tzframpton Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 i agree. just get-r-done. it'll be worth it in the longrun. Quote
Enigma Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I recall some kind of command to 'reshape' a circle so it does not look like an ellipse when using a wide screen monitor, does anyone remember what it is? Quote
briankstan Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I recall some kind of command to 'reshape' a circle so it does not look like an ellipse when using a wide screen monitor, does anyone remember what it is? make sure your screen resolution is set to the correct aspect ratio in windows. then it will look right. Quote
f700es Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Also make sure your video card can handle wide screen monitors. Some older cards cannot do it. Quote
Enigma Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 That's the ticket! Thanks. What I was thinking of must have been some long ago DOS commands. I remember measuring a circle on the screen with a scale and changing settings somehow. Ahhh, good 'ol DOS............ Quote
TimZilla Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I draw a circle and it looks like a oval, yes, I have already tried all of the resolution settings, by right clicking on desktop properties, blah blah. Is there something I can do or is this something I am going to have to get used to? Does AutoCAD have a setting for this? Quote
ReMark Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Did you try adjusting your monitor settings (using OSD)? Quote
