    I have recently purchased three new pcs and monitors. The monitors are 19"
    flat CRT and when I work on them in XSteel Drafting program the lines in the
    corners do not remain straight. This only occurrs with the 19" CRT that I
    purchased. I have tried these pcs with a regular CRT monitor and the lines
    are correct.

    I realize this isn't autocad but I was hoping that someone may have
    experienced this problem when drafting in autocad. I can't find the XSteel
    newsgroups or I would not be bothering you folks.

    I would certainly appreciate any information or advice you can give me
    though

    This seems to be a monitor problem. Adjust the pincushion settings on the
    monitor while a grid of lines is displayed. Go through the button options on
    the front of the monitor until you see a rectangle with curved edges or
    pincushion. Also reduce the overall image size until the edges are visible,
    they should be straight.

    Nokia has a very nice program that helps when adjusting the settings for
    any monitor.

    Your monitor manual should tell you what needs adjusting, based on what
    the Nokia program displays (especially the geometry screen for the
    problem you've described)
