Poor Resolution, or Unable to See Linework Unless Zoomed In Extremely Closely

Issue

You're experiencing poor resolution in your CAD file. For example, you may:

• Be unable to see linework unless zoomed in extremely closely, or
• See zig zags in the color and leaders, and some of your linework may be missing. Then, as you zoom in or out, the zig zag goes away and the content shows up.
