Hi.

I am trying to create a 2D drawing from a model, but when i create the 2D
views, they look "un-accurate", i.e. the circles, are more lije eggs, and
the edges are missing in places, etc.
I seem to remember there being an accuracy toggle?
Any help appreciated.

Lee

Have you tried to set "precise hidden" etc. settings on?
Also, how old is your drawing and how big is the .mdf file? If it's
huge, use hammedic.exe.

Hi Hoppy2008

Check in the settings if you have coarse, fine or precise. It sounds
like you have coarse, circles are with 8 edges and the whole drawing
isn't really precise.
You can set this for every single view.
