I keep finding new annoyances in Creo 2. The image below is a top view
of a simple skeleton model. A few planes and a couple of curves, no
surface or solid geometry. Notice the curves, in blue, appear straight.
They are not. The highlight, in green, shows the true arc of the blue
curve directly above it. It's a single, gentle arc, yet Creo displays
it as a straight line, actually the chord of the arc. This part is in
inches, and the R to L width of that image is about 3", so it's not a
tiny arc.
This happens in drawings and sections and is more than just annoying. I
sometimes can't tell why Creo won't let me select the sketch and it
turns out I'm clicking on the straight line display while the arc is
actually many pixels away so I'm nowhere near it.
I didn't have these issues in Wf5 & earlier. Is there a config option
or display setting I'm missing?
Thanks,
Doug Schaefer
