display circles not ovals

display circles not ovals

(OP)

In Autocad 2002, how do I adjust the display to show circular circles (not ovals)?

I remember doing this a long time ago, but now can't seem to recall.

I searched and found this contained in a query on the solidworks forum:

Quote:

In Autocad there is a method where you draw a circle or a square box. measure the display on screen and enter it. The software adjust to those dimensions so that it displays the image with correct aspect ratio
Would someone please divulge this method? This is beginning to drive me crazy!

Thanks in advance for any help.

RE: display circles not ovals

Earlier versions of Autocad allowed the software to adjust for aspect ratio.  This is no longer the case (hasn't been for a while).  One must now adjust your graphics adapter settings (screen resolution) to achieve this.
