I have noticed that when I zoom in close to see the tolerance of surrounding parts, I have noticed the curved path of parts are not vector art smooth curved paths.  
I have a screenshot of the problem,

Is there a low resolution setting that needs to be reset to hi-res… Is the part actually smooth or is it jagged like the screenshot.  
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks Skip.

Hi, thanks for reaching out.  
It’s simply a tesselation display issue due to the very wide zooming-in and the actual design surface is smooth.

I was concerned about this as well until I exported an obj of the body and imported it into 3ds max and the geometry was super smooth and exactly what I expected. 😊
