Hello
I am a new user of ProgeCAD 2008. I have noticed that lines that are not vertical/horizontal are jagged in appearance. Is there a way to smooth these out?

Hi wavard,

I think that you are referring to the pixelation that occurs when a digital vector is rendered graphically in steps or 'pixels' on your screen. These are strictly graphical and do not effect the quality of the printing.

There is a method of reducing those called antiliasing is used to basically "fool" the eye by adding lighter shade pixels on either side of an entity to make the pixel "steps" look smoother and more elegant. However antiliasing has a disadvantage in that it requires extra processing power for every entity displayed.

We will look more in to it however. Thanks.
