    I have a couple of quick questions...

    I have zoomed into my drawing and produced a circular hidden detail,
    but when showing this hidden detail at 6:1 the outline of the circle is
    jagged. I have changed the image quality setting in performance to
    maximum but this isn't helping... any ideas?

    Also, how can I change the colour of just this hidden detail circle to
    white?

    Thanks.

    The image quality setting slider bar on top is only for shaded drawing views
    & shaded 3d models.
    The image quality setting slider bar on the bottom is for wireframe, hidden
    removed, hidden visible, ect... which is typical for drawings

    simple terms:
    top slider for parts & assemblies
    bottom slider for drawings

    Just make sure your using the correct slider & that you hit ctrl+q when
    entering the drawing again after changing the setting.

    Hope that helps.

    Keep in mind also, that jaggedness is on the screen only. when you
    make a hard copy, they will go away and make a smooth line. You
    printer quality has some to do with that as well.

    the bottom slider is on maximum and its not the screen quality as I do
    'print to pdf' and the pdf has this jaggedness.

    If you are actually printing to PDF, you need to set the quality
    settings of the PDF printer also. I just tested both ways with an
    Adobe Acrobat Printer and the PDF looks fine. Also the save-as PDF
    looked fine.

    no its nothing to do with 'print to pdf' or 'save as pdf'... the
    quality of the drawing is good apart from the hidden detail circle.
