When you raise and lower the value of VIEWRES, objects controlled by both
VIEWRES and FACETRES are affected. When you raise and lower the value of
FACETRES, only solid objects are affected.
In the following example, smoother geometry is displayed when FACETRES
is set to higher values. FACETRES = 5.

To alter the render resolution of solid geometry
1 At the Command prompt, enter facetres.
2 Do one of the following:
■ Enter a value greater than .5 to increase the smoothness of curved
surfaces.
■ Enter a value lower than .5 to decrease the smoothness of curved
surfaces.
To alter the display resolution of arcs and circles
1 At the Command prompt, enter viewres.
2 Ignore the prompt about fast zooms if you only want to make circles and
arcs in the drawing look better for your rendering.
3 At the Circle Zoom Percent prompt, do one of the following:
■ Enter a value greater than 1000 to increase the smoothness of arcs
and circles.
■ Enter a value lower than 1000 to decrease the smoothness of arcs and
circles.
