QUESTION
Some of my live elevation views on the layout appear blurry, fuzzy, pixelated, unclear, or distorted. What causes this, and how can I correct it?
ANSWER
Live Views can become blurry on your screen- particularly if you zoom in and out or pan around the layout page. This can be resolved by refreshing the view.
To update or change the view
- You can zoom in on the individual Live View, select it, then click on the Update View
edit button, and the view's on-screen appearance will refresh.

- Selecting Tools> Layout> Update Layout Views> Update All Live Views
, will refresh all the views for the entire layout.
- Alternatively to Live Views, you can send your elevation views to layout as a Plot Lines view. Plot Line views use a Vector View Rendering Technique and is beneficial for displaying crisp line weights on-screen. You can specify whether a view displays color or not in the Send to Layout dialog.
