pixels everywhere

Hello I just recently bought and downloaded the clip studio pro but now I think I'm regretting my decision. i have been using medibang and photoshop for a while. Both performed really well. I wanted to start a manga of my own and decided to buy clip studio instantly because it was highly recommended and said that it was great especially for comics or manga. but whenever I zoomed in, whether it set to vector layer, the lines are pixelated. I tried everything especially from the clip studio site itself but nothing was working. So I would like to ask what to do with this? How do I fix it? thank you very much .

    Perhaps your document resolution is low?
    CSP is not a vector design software really, it just uses some of it's engine features
    to give you a vector like behavior while working with graphic elements.
    Canvas is always rasterized but some layers (vector) are editable in a way raster ones are not (c. points, stroke thickness etc).

    Try increasing your resolution and work with it as you would with Photoshop or any other raster drawing software.

    Don't panic when it pixellates as you zoom in because it's due to the resolution you are working in, NOT a bug in the program.
    Like in Photoshop, at 100% it is already the actual pixel size of the DPI you have set on your canvas, so you need to set your resolution well (I recommend 300-350 DPI) for your drawing.

    The snippet below is a side by side comparison of a stroke in a vector layer and normal layer in a 300 DPI canvas after zooming to 200%.
    The lower your DPI, the more pixellated your lines become when you zoom. A smaller canvas with high DPI will also have the same effect.

    Samieeblue96, my friend...
    This is just more an expansion of what Memag e Keyflurry said, so being said that...
    Clip Studio Paint doesn't have a vector engine in the strict sense like Illustrator it has more the possibility to change the lines you made in vector layer.
    For an example I made four lines with different brushes in vector layer. I can move and edit them using the vector tools, but they will continue to have a raster graphic. Is controintuitive I know. XD
    But the funny part is... The lines don't mix. For an example the yellow line will be separeted form the purple line... So I can edit them how much I want in a non-destructive way.
    Practically speaking the vector mode was made for the inking layer...
