Display performance - arcs displaying as several lines 1

[albates1972]

I have a problem with the vis. performance in NX5. I cannot get the display to generate a smooth arc in wireframe or shaded views.

I cannot "update view" or "regenerate work view" to create a continuous arc either. There are several lines connected in place of the arc.

I am currently working on a small part with no background data.

Look at the pic provided and you will see my problem. (not sure if this will work with "bmp" files)

Please help, I am sure the fix is easy.

If a regen won't work, try Preferences --> Line and tighten your curve tolerance. I usually have it set to .0005 without too much of a performance hit.

That did not work either, unless I have to logout and back into UG.

Thanks for the quick response.

I don't think you need to restart UG.
Did you regen after changing the setting? If so, I'm at a loss. Hopefully, John or hudson will chime in with the solution before long.

Try doing the following:
1. Zoom in to the area you showed in your bitmap.
2. Go to Preferences > Visualization > Faceting
3. Try adjusting the Tolerance from its default (Standard) to Fine or Ultrafine

ewh,
Yeah I tried regen and update display. No restart.

Potrero,
That did not work either. No restart either.

Is this arc physically large in size?

Dia 86.0mm, not big at all.

I also tried comparing a coworkers setting to mine and there is no change in my "arcs". Could this be a hardware issue? I would not think that.

Are you seeing this with parts in an Assembly or in the piece part (the Master Model) file itself?

If it's in an Assembly, make sure that you have not used a 'Lightweight' or faceted Reference Set.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

That was it!!

We don't normally use that reference set but occasionally we find it.

Thanks to everybody for your input. It makes modeling life so much easier now.
