When I draw a small radius (.032), it looks like a rectangle, if I zoom in – its shows the radius. Is there a setting or a command i need to change?

thanks

Try setting the "arc and circle smoothness" to a lower number.

From your menu: Tools......Options........Display tab......Display
resolution.

If this resolves your problem, then I would suggest adding the following
line of code into your acaddoc.lsp file (that is, if you use one). It will
ensure that each time you load a drawing, it will have this same screen
resolution setting. This setting is saved in each drawing.

(command "viewres" "y" "5000") ;sets view resolution for no joggy circles

You can change the "5000" to any number you prefer.

Had similar problem in '02; changing viewres had little effect.

Updating video card drivers had a BIG effect. F.Y.I.: Some video card manufacturers write their own video drivers. If you can find video drivers developed by the manufacturer of the chip set used on your video card, they'll probably work better.
