I remember that too - and was SO excited - because taking ai files (such as
a fake UI layout) with thin 1px to 4px horizontal lines and slightly
tilting them in 3d space is a huge aliased mess in AE. It's something we
did a lot of on 'Ender's Game' - and it drove us crazy.

Unfortunately, the 'more accurate' switch didn't do anything to make the
situation better in that case. Neither does the new CC antialiasing
control. :-(

But an improvement in that area would be hugely welcomed!! I'll file an FR.

I recall a few months back that someone on this list had a problem with &qu=

<br>
This is surprising to some of the folks who work on the code here at the pl=

<br>
We&#39;d really like to get a copy of any project (and relevant AI/EPS foot=
