Rendering CIrcles in AutoCAD

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

One one of my drawings, I have a tube where the section looks more like an hexagone than a circle... I've been in the "display" tab of the options and set the quality to "smoother" but it did not solve the problem. Then when I run ANSYS it reads a haxagonal tube which is not what I want...

The aspect ration (length/diameter) of approximately 160. Is it really that big for Inventor? How can I get a circular section?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Sorry, but it's hard-code'd into Inventor. Changing the Quality setting won't smooth it out. Possibly using the Realistic or Ray-Trace within the View Tab may make it look better.

If you can attach your drawing and associated model(s) here, someone else can try it on their computer and see if they get the same results.  Please include what version of Inventor you're using.

Note: your subject line says AutoCAD, not Inventor.  I almost skipped this thread thinking it was in the wrong forum.
