vector drawings (bug)

Was astonished to see that drawings aren't actually curved vectors but line segments

[that's a uniform thickness wall of thickness, t, with inner fillet radius, t/2, and outer fillet radius, 3t/2; both curves should be 1/4 of a circle but for some unknowable reason, they're being approximated by two straight line segments)

Is the image from the drawing workspace or is it from an exported PDF. I seen some pretty bad accuracy in PDFs, not noticed anything that bad in the workspace.

Here's something odd, the same drawing on 2 different computers one with a 2gb Nvidia GTX660 and one a 2gb GTX960 both DirectX 11.0

The faceting is only visual if I make a 100:1 detail view it shows as an arc and exporting the file a a DWG and viewing in DWG Trueview shows an arc. I can't see any differences in the preferences on the 2 computers so I don't know why one's better than the other.
