Setting VIEWRES to be 1000 or higher always achieves a better result. --- ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 2016](../../../2016/System%20Variables/W/WHIPARC%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2018](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2018/System%20Variables/W/WHIPARC%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/System%20Variables/W/WHIPARC%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/System%20Variables/W/WHIPARC%20System%20Variable.md) · [GstarCAD 2021](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/System%20Variables/W/WHIPARC%20System%20Variable.md)
