Jagged lines

I'm drawing a tapered column and the lines are very jagged and not smooth or clean looking. Is there a setting to fix this? It doesn't look very nice.

    Try to set the ANTIALIASSCREEN system variable to 2 or 3. It controls the smoothness of on-screen curve display. After changing REGEN is needed to see the differance.

    Thank you for your reply. That has made it better on the screen, but it's still jagged on the print preview. So maybe it's a PDF setting?

    Yes, ANTIALIASSCREEN influences only screen display. Regarding PDF output I noticed that its displaying depends on zoom level in a viewer, when I zoom in printed drawing, lines are displayed more smooth, zoom out make them more jagged.

    If you use the built-in virtual printer, "Print as PDF," it skips the print preview and quickly creates and opens a PDF file, so you'll see smooth lines right away. If you like what you see, use "Save As" in your PDF viewer to keep the file.
