The centerline isdisplayed on the figure.12.3.12 Optimizing the Drawing DisplayOptimizing your drawing display allows <strong>Alibre</strong> <strong>Design</strong> to choose how many segments to break nonlinearedges into when projecting them on the display. Smaller edges will be broken down into lesssegments. This optimization applies to all views in the drawing, and is valid for only projectededges, not for sketches created in the drawing itself.Turning on the Optimize option reduces the memory used by the drawing and also the time requiredto render it on the display.‣ To optimize your drawing display1. From the File menu, choose Properties.2. Select the Display tab.3. In the Curve Smoothness section, check the Optimize option to optimize drawing performance.Optimized edges may appear a little more coarse, because of the smaller number of segments usedto display the edge. If you have the optimize option turned on, you can refine individual non-linearedges so that they appear finer.‣ To refine individual edges1. Right-click on the edge you wish to refine and select Refine Edge.This option will be disabled if the edge has already been refined, or if it is a linear edge.336
