Display Jagged Edges

Access: Open this function from the following location:

  • Select View > Settings > Display Jagged Edges from the menu bar.

This Display function appears as an ON/OFF toggle button in the menu. When ON, the button is highlighted and the specified entities are displayed.

Turn the smoothing (ant-aliasing) of edges ON or OFF.

Diagonal lines are, by default, displayed in Cimatron as smoothed (also known as anti-aliasing). Anti-aliasing is a software technique that enables diagonal lines to appear smoothed, rather than as jagged stair-stepped lines.

However, in some cases, this may make it quite hard to see if a line is horizontal or vertical or if it has a slight angle. For these cases, by turning the display of jagged edges ON, it is easier to detect, for example, whether or not a face has a draft angle.

The default setting is defined in the Preferences.

Display Jagged Edges OFF - Smoothed (anti-aliased) edges

Display Jagged Edges ON - Jagged edges are displayed
