Filleted edge different in drawing than model

Filleted edge different in drawing than model

(OP)
I am detailing a casting (although I'd rather be chewing on aluminum foil) and one of the filleted edges shows up rather funky in the drawing. It is smooth in the model but shows as this glitchy line in the top and front views. The fillet is on the edge of an extruded cut that passes through a revolved parabolic surface. That has never mattered in the past but I thought I should throw that out there in case it provided a clue. Suggestions would be appreciated.

RE: Filleted edge different in drawing than model

I'd check your display options:

Tools, Options, Document Properties, Image Quality

Crank that up to the highest quality and see if that helps.  Be prepared to wait if you've got a lot of detail to regenerate...

Thanks dgowans, but I'm in the red already! I'm using the OptisWorks Add-in and for the results to be reliable the Image Quality is always cranked.
