Circle Not Circular

wannaCAD · Jan 16, 2020

I finally have made the transition from 1280 x 1024 CRT
to 1920 x 1080 (recommended resolution) flat panel monitor.

And I encountered a problem: a circle does not look like
a circle! Instead it is like an ellipse with the major axis vertical.

How do I correct this error without changing resolution?
Perhaps someone who also experienced this problem and
solved it could help me.

While I'm not familiar with AUTOCAD, I know other CAD systems provided a means to adjust the display to compensate for the aspect ratio of the hardware. I would check for something like 'Settings' and look for options 'Display' or 'Screen'.

I remember having this problem in Inventor before. Solving it took a bit of searching. Unfortunately I don't use Inventor any more so I can't help you now.
Have you searched the AutoDESK Inventor forum?
