Circle command delivers polygons

Hi,

I currently fail to create circles with the circle - center and radius command. Instead of circles, I get different types of polygons, depending on the radius I defined. Some Examples:

radius= 15 results in a line

radius= 30 gives a triangle

radius=90 is a quadrangle

radius=200 a pentagon and so on...

 

Is there probably something wrong with my preferences or units that I should check? Or has anybody else already experienced this problem?

 

Greetings,

 

Gottfried

    Hi Gottfried,

     

    Try this:

     

    1) Press ' O'  on your keyboard which takes you to the Options panel

    2) In options panel, go to graphics and change the graphics refinement to highest level

    Level 2 instead of level 1 already helped, thank you very much! I thought of this kind of settings, but was not able to identify them.
