Solution for those who experience aliased lines in Rhino

I often read complaints about less than optimal anti-aliasing on curves in Rhino 8. For some reason, there is no difference between 2x, 4x and 8x anti-aliasing even in the latest Rhino 8.3 release. Seems like a bug to me.

However, you can use a temporary solution to this, which makes the aliasing appear less aggressive to the eyes. There is a hidden command called testWireThicknessScale which lets you control the thickness of the curves, isocurves and surface edges. A value of 1,5 gives a nice result, but you can try any other value according to your liking.

I recommend to place the following command in Rhino Options > General:

testWireThicknessScale Enabled=On Scale=1.5 Enter

Keep in mind that there is a bug with Leaders in Rhino 8. Using any value for the wire thickness other than 1 results into much thicker leaders. Rhino 7 does not suffer from the bug. Here is a link to another topic where I described the issue in details.
