liam5426 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Hi, there may be a really simple explanation to this, but whenever i import a block, edit a block, closedown CAD and sometimes when i do nothing; every arc ive drawn straightens out into a straight line. Im only working in 2D, and have to select the arcs and type "flatten" - "no" everytime to get them to revert back to an arc. Quote
rkent Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 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 0. (Viewres will have no effect when whiparc is set to 1) Quote
liam5426 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Viewres was set to 100, so I set it higher and it seems to have done the trick. Thanks for the help. Quote
RichterGMC Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Do you do a REGEN when they straighten out? Works for me all the time... Pain, but it works.. Quote
liam5426 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Never tried regen, but after setting the viewres to 1000, its not done it again, and hasnt slowed the program down. I was just typeing flatten, no, which worked, but it always reverted back. Quote
ReMark Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 The range on viewres is 1 - 20,000. I generally keep mine between 2,000 and 5,000. Quote
