Hy,
this is making me crazy. I am designing a microfluidic chip structure in simple 2D, however there are quite some array of copies.
Now when I copy sets of objects the quality of the objects are losening quality. Like you see on the picture I zoomed in and you see the curved parts getting segmented more and more. When I store it that way it seems to stay that way. Not completely sure if that is a viewing problem or a decomplexification of the real CAD data ... which would be HORRIBLE if AutoCAD does that without a notification.
How can I prevent that behaviour? I wanna have my structures stay the way a drew it!

Usually this is just a display issue, and if you REGEN it goes away. You can also try setting VIEWRES to 20000 and WHIPARC to 1 and see if that helps any.
A little more elaboration: because working with curves is computationally expensive, AutoCAD "cheats" when displaying them and uses straight segments instead. The variables mentioned control how much cheating is done - less cheating requires more processing. Note that this is *only* in the display, not the actual data.
Not sure if you are drawing with all those decimals or not... a unit is a unit, and the user can select what it means in order to make a good drawing. For example if everything is on the micron scale one unit could be one micron to save a lot of zero-point-zerozerozerozeroblahblah data entry and display. If this needs to exist in something that is in a larger scale (e.g. millimeters), then the larger object can be done with one unit as one millimeter, and the circuitry referenced in and scaled appropriately.
