Hi- I don't know why when I model small parts they don't look smooth at all, epecially the round or curve parts. thay look like stright lines join together! Is there a way to make it look smooth? thanks.
 
Try going to View / Model Display and change a few settings about. Especially the shade tab from default 3 to 10.


Could also be gfx card issues.
 
I know it's not the geaphics card. But i also notice that if I change the units settings to pro/e defaults then it look alright when I do small parts.
 
You can also end up with problems when an extruded sketch, for example is produced extremely large and then edited to be orders of magnitude smaller in the modelling window.
