Well well well,
someone else is also hating V7 line quality.
and there appears to be a fix ?
which is not being implemented on V7, and V8 tries to resolve the problem.
I have been commenting on this and going back to V5 with no fix, with no solution offered.
It is wrong that in 2023 a CAD prog has bad line quality.
rough is the word !
I will try for this fix,
though this is not what I wanted on my objects
The lines are fixed…HOORAY !
I have had to darken the major and minor grid lines to match the colours I normally use.
However the axes also need restoring to former colours, and the lines still dont centre on them as in V5.
Why oh why has this all been messed up ?
Steve Baer in another thread about the lousy V7 lines says:-
Unfortunately you are stuck with this for V7. We had to switch from very old OpenGL to modern OpenGL in order to support many other things. The one advantage of very old OpenGL was that the GPU vendors had some very good thin line drawing routines. This is not available in modern OpenGL. I do feel we made some improvements in this area in V8 though.
have truly Graphics cards messed up on the most basic of things, clean untwisted lines after decades of evolution of GPU’s ?
I have the latest and its fine in V5, so just what was needed to change in V7 as my latest card is perfectly capable of lines in V5, surely we need to retain basic line quality before messing about, just what is it in V7 that warranted the loss of this ?
…and having solved Shaded mode line quality, I enter Ghosted and also X tay and the grid is too dark now, so this is no fix as other modes are then messed up.
afternoon wasted on this.
Just what can be done to fix the lines, as this worked on them ! but messes with the grid colours.
