No smooth curves on my lofts.

No smooth curves on my lofts.

Hi all,
I am trying to create a loft based on two rectangles as profiles and a guide curve that have a smooth curve. The preview of the loft has a smooth and even curve, but when I "click" the green hatch (OK) the smooth curve becomes not so smooth. The curve is now made up of short straight lines. –Completely useless to me I´m afraid.  Is there a way to fix this?
I use SW 2008 sp0, and am a newbe to Solidworks. I have liked SW so far, but have to get this to work to really have the use of it.

Thanks in advance,

Go to Options, Document Properties, Image Quality and adjust the settings there.

Yeah, I'd imagine that's a display issue rather than a geometry issue.  Turn up your settings per Eltron above and see if things change.
