Circles in 3d Visual Style "Realistic" Show as Dodecagons

Any idea why my circles are displaying in 12 segments in AutoCAD 2020, using Visual Style “Realistic?” Some screenshots and the actual .dwg attached if it helps, and a copy/paste of the tuner log. It is a real circle, extruded along an arc path.

 

Also, since the screenshots, I changed Contour Lines to 2047, and 2DRETAINMODE to 0. I've also tried VIEWRES both with and without Fast Zoom, and at various values up to 20,000.

 

Thanks,

Aeran

HI,

usually increasing FACETRES value will fix the issue and it's ok as shown in your attached image . from GRAPHICSCONFIG command :

  • try to Turn ON/OFF hardware acceleration .
  • select Smooth Line Display option .

Thanks imadHabash. Unfortunately I tried hardware acceleration both on and off, and Smooth Line Display both on and off, and unchecked some of the advanced shading settings as well, and none of that smoothed the circles.

Hi,

as you can see from below image , you can from your Visual Styles Manager select isolines option from Edge Settings to your current Realistic visual style . then right click your navigation cube and select Parallel option . hope it's help .

Thanks again imadHabash. That gets me the closest to a round circle!
