VS randomly switches to pixel view



  • I've been running into an issue lately where VS randomly jumps to pixel view as I am zooming in and out of a vector design and I have to go in to display and turn off pixel view and turn on vector view. It's occurred on 2 different files so far, both since the update to build 42. I'm trying to figure out what is happening prior to make it do this.

    UPDATE: It seems to be defaulting to pixel view for every new document I create.
    I'm not sure how or why that is happening or how to default it back to vector preview. I tried refreshing and restarting VS and neither fixed the issue - every new file defaults to pixel view and I need to manually switch it over to vector.
    I am having this issue on the M1 version of VS, I am not running into this issue on the intel version.

  • @Boldline Maybe the Document viewing mode is set to 'Pixels' instead of 'Vectors' on the M1 Mac? Go to View menu > Display > Display Options to check:

  • @b77 Thanks! That seems to have been the issue. I'm not sure how that got switched. All new files made seem to be defaulting to vector again. I appreciate it



  • @Boldline Great! 👍

    @Boldline @b77 Since 2 releases ago when the Display settings are changed, the changes are used as defaults for a new document.
