Not so much related to the application, but I was asked to find a way to make drawings look sketched, so I tried playing with visual styles. Help suggest setting the overhang and jitter setting on to accomplish this but my drawings can't survive the process; they lock up and crash. Any experience out there as to the optimal settings?

If you upgraded to 2011 you have preset visual styles for this. If this is a plan view you can look at Impression.

(I think you can get this on the Subscription site if your a member.)
If your crashing did you try resetting hardware acceleration or toggleing it on or off? Is it too much data? Video drivers current? Too much data? Maybe smaller pieces will help.

Thanks John, I had trial of impression and forgot our subscription pull.

I was able to set up the visual style to give me a sketched look on all the lines however it doesn't seem to apply to the curves / arcs within the drawing. Is there a setting I am missing?
I don't usually do any sketchy drawings. But you could try the NAPKIN command.

I did try that and it worked OK. I didn't like that it added additional lines and nodes. I was hoping to have a style that could print as a sketch but would have intelligence that I could keep modifying without having to redraw.
