    Red face Switched to LCD in older v of UG from CRT and my circles are ovals!!! help

    Hi
    I recently upgraded graphics and added a large LCD instead of my old 21" CRT monitor.
    Now my models are stretched and my drawing circles are ovals! I have an older version of NX.
    What do I do?
    Thank You

    Reset your screen resolution in Windows. Find the one that works correctly

    Hi Jim thanks for the rely so quickly. I tried every available resolution from my graphics card and still circles are ovals. I remember a command in Visualization or somewhere where oblong circles became real circles but I can't find it. Any ideas? Perhaps I need a better graphics card.

    I also remember when UG was domestic and there were manufacturing plants and fabricators all over the country using it.

    I don't know about Visualization, so I can't help you there. The real problem is the that your original screen was a 4:3 width to height ratio, the new screens are 16:9, I think I see a new video card in your future.

    Calibrate the screen in NX - Preferences - Visualization - View/Screen - Calibrate..
