Sketch visualisation smoothness

[gogocad]

Hi.... I forgot how to change or set the sketch visualisation smoothness.
As it is by default, it s ok, but with some big zooms, circles get very faceted, instead of smooth and circular, you actually see line steps.

Preferences/visualizaion, apparently only work for shading in main viewport for surfaces.
So, how can i improve the display quality of lines in sketches?

Thank you

Just do an 'Update Display'.

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

Thank you for replying.
Maybe i did not make myself too clear, sorry.

What i am looking for is for a preferences setting that determines the tesselation of sketch lines. Similar to how we can do for surfaces in preferences/visualisation/faceting.

Hitting refresh doesnt change anything really.
A circle looks pretty jaggy to me, a bit "pologonised"... I d rather see it as a smooth line.
So the question really is if there is any setting that determines how the sketch lines are tesselated. If it is automatic and the software decides , that s fine, just asking.... i dont know. I can determine if lines look smoother or coarser in catia and solidworks... Similar setting for nx too?

Thanks again

What NX version are you running ?
In older NX versions one had to "Update Display" quite frequently.
Then I also used to change the Preferences - Visualization - Line - Curve Tolerance to a finer value. But I never touch that value anymore since it seems to automaticly update the smoothness.

Look in preferences -> visualization performance and turn on the line antialiasing.
