VW2008 Disorted view when zoomed out

[C W]

When working on the VW2008 program the view of lines, text, etc. appears distorted unless zoomed in quite a bit. Has anyone else noticed this and is this something that can be adjusted? Thanks.

Do you have you any perspective or orthogonal settings accidentally turned on under the view menu?

I checked and all of my view settings are set to normal. In fact I've checked on other computers here at the office and the view appears distorted as well. Mind you this has a minor impact on working, but it's noticeably better on 12.5.

Is there's a way to attach an image so I can show you what I'm trying to describe?

To attach a file, including images, don't use Quick Reply. Click on the Reply link at the bottom of a post, then click on file manager. An image would help here, but it sounds like your problem is just a limitation of your monitor.

Actually, the image looks a little clearer as a jpeg. Still though, the smaller type is clearly distorted and it is not that way on 12.5.

Turn on Anti-Aliasing???

For me (Mac 12.5.2) it is located in Vectorworks Preferences.

Seems to have worked. Thanks.

Do you know if this affects other areas/items of the program I should be aware of"

Might make the display a bit slower, but I am unsure how it affects prints. I think it just allows your graphic card to smooth out objects (lines, etc) that are diagonal, or such. Just has a way to do with the display of your drawings.

Glad it worked
