The problem of setting the appearance of the line

Anonymous
Not applicable
Faced a problem in the design of drawings. It is necessary that all the lines are displayed with right angles and not rounded, help please understand the settings. I attach the picture as it is and how it should look https://ibb.co/fH3Pv0

It is a known issue and there have been a few posts about this in the past.
There is really not anything you can do about it.
The thinner the line you use, the less you will notice the rounding.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as square ends to a line in Archicad.

The fact is that I was dropped the file, ArchiCAD in which the lines are displayed with right angles, and the customer wants to see drawings with a similar design.

Remember that on screen you can zoom in which greatly exaggerates the problem.
I find that any lines up to about 0.5mm thick are fine when printed.
Anything thicker than this then you will start to notice the round ends.

Also there is an on-screen option to show hairline thickness regardless of the real thickness, which makes it easier to work on screen.
You can also print in hairline, but that defeats the purpose of having thicker lines in the first place.
