Line Quality
A high Line Quality eliminates breaks and jagged edges of any lines in the program. A high line quality may cause processes such as the Zoom function, Line editing, Moving pieces, etc. to function slowly. Note that if more than 3 sizes are displayed, this function is automatically disabled in order to improve performance.
