Hi all,

A pretty straight forward question… I’ve been playing around with making small vector shapes and at 400% they look very smooth, but at 100% they’re rough, jaggy, and skewed. I’ve attached a sample file of what I’m working with.

I’m just not sure how to go about making small vector graphics crisp and smooth, maybe I’m missing an important detail?

File is CS3
