Hello, after several suggestions I am still having issues with good resolution of curves and lines. A good example is a straight line (end point) to a curve (end point) but there is a jog in the line and it plots and prints like that This is a relatively new problem, I have been using the 2018 Student version Autocad for about 10 months without issues. Can someone from autocad tell me if it could be a graphics card problem....I have a laptop Asus with Radeon R5 M420 2GB but I understand that memory and graphics cards are not interchangeable.
If the graphics card is at least minimum level...would reinstalling the original program allow me to go back to original general settings...so many settings have been changed I do not know where the defaults are. The differences are not large but it seems to be affecting dimensions....and since one drawing is based on another the mistake multiplies.
If it is a program setting problem it can be remedied, if a card problem I will have to get used to it or find a patch to cover the problem.....btw from what I understand my student copy cannot be upgraded to 2018 1.1 or 1.2.
Thanks

All the inside curves are actually offsets of the outer line. At the bottom the horizontal lines are supposed to go the end point of inside curve. The measures say the same but to print gives a different jog in the line.

Hi @Anonymous
I came into this thread hoping that I could quickly resolve your issue but when I look at the arc and line endpoints, they are not where you show in your image.
Can you verify that this is as intended? I am not sure that the description you provided has anything to do with the graphics card but rather it is a geometry issue but please give me more information so I can better understand the issue.
When I plot your geometry to a PDF and zoom in very tight, it looks as it should.

Hello John, the arc is on a tangent to the horizontal and the vertical line is another thing- they look normal here....but they don't appear like that on my screen.
I took apart several objects to print cutout patterns and this is what I see.....the curves especially are bumpy.
If you see them normally and I don't it must be a graphics setting different on mine....but which?
