distorted view when zooming in and out

[ericdr]

Hello everybody,

When I'm designing (in design space), somehow the view gets distorted by zooming in and out. It looks like Vectorworks is not able to process all the information correctly. So when I zoom out some objects start to move relatively from each other; creating a distorted image. This is very annoying, considering I want to see my design as it supposed to be when I zoom out. Right now every time I zoom the position of the symbols changes, only when I zoom in very far the position seems to be correct.

How can I change this? Does this have to do with the View-settings?

Thanks in advance!

-Some extra information;

I'm using Vectorworks 2011 Educational version. I've tried restarting my computer and the programme but it doesn't help. I have a macbook pro which is only one year old, so I assume it's Vectorworks that's causing the problem, not my laptop.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi eric

Please add your info in your Signature.

This will assist in this and future posts

Like what RAM and Graphics card etc.

Is this with a certian complex drawing, or with all types, big and small in file size?

It happens when I have a lot of symbols, with a complex drawing; I made a raster with a lot of small triangles.

But I think I have already found the solution myself; I have turned off Anti-aliasing and Quartz so the design space is viewed in lower quality. I can now zoom in and out without much loading time and the drawings don't distort anymore (until now at least).So I think that the drawing was just too complex to be viewed in high quality mode without trouble with loading.

So thanks for your reply anyway!

Kind regards,

Eric
