saile Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 why the circle in my screen is not a perfect circle...some kind of oval shape? Quote
SuperCAD Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 My guess would be 1. You drew an ellipse. 2. Your monitor/resolution settings are not correct. Quote

Dadgad Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I suspect this is a perspective issue. Try adjusting in the upper left hand corner of your modelspace, the VIEWPORT CONTROLS as shown in my attachment to display your TOP view. I suspect you are looking at your circle from an isometric perspective, which will change how it appears, you need to be looking at it in plan (or from the bottom) so that it will display as a circle. The second image shows a circle which is drawn on the XY plane as viewed from an isometric perspective. If you observe it from the left, right, front or back perspectives it will display as a line.

ReMark Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Right-click on your Desktop and check what your screen resolution is then post it here. For example, mine is 1920x1080. Quote

ReMark Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Is your monitor one of the old CRT types or is it an LCD? Quote

lulumara Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Well like Samsung Monitor I had 23 inch and wide this makes your drawings such as circles makes like a ellipse so don't worry about it, it's the wide screen was the culprit. Quote
ReMark Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Viewres not set to max. 20000 Viewres has nothing to do with fixing circles that look like ovals. Viewres will take a circle that looks like it was comprised of many little line segments and smooth it out. Anyway, even if the OP were seeing circles displayed as polygons a setting as low as 2000 would smooth the circles out on most systems. Quote

You can still get circles to look round even on a 23" widescreen LCD. I've had no problem with the display of circles on the three widescreen monitors I use which are 21, 23 and 28 inch models. Quote
Dadgad Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 The OP's problem still sounds UCS related to me, as there has been a subsequent post describing an ortho line as looking slanted, which I should think would not be a monitor issue, and raise a huge RED flag. Quote

Grab another cup of coffee and clear out the cobwebs. The OP does not mention anything about an ortho line looking slanted. That was the dream you had last night about something being crooked. Quote
SuperCAD Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I still think it's a monitor setting problem. You need to use a setting that is recommended for your monitor. For instance, on my 23" 1920 x 1080 is the proper setting for resolution. If I use a setting that is for a non-widescreen monitor, my images will appear distorted since it's trying to take the wrong resolution and stretch it to the boundaries of the monitor. The same thing would hold true when using a widescreen setting on a standard monitor, just in the opposite direction. Quote
