Newly added lines and shapes in illustrator appear pixelated

So I've been using illustrator for some time now and have never had these type of issues, today I continued working on a technical drawing in illustrator and I've noticed that any new lines and shapes that I added appear jagged and pixelated especially compared to rest of the drawing that doesn't display these type of issues. So only the new additions to the drawing are pixelated not the rest. That's why none of the solutions I've found online so far have been helpful... Please, I'm open to any suggestions it's been so irritating

What system are you using? Specifcally, what's your monitor resolution?

You changed the response above...

A 2560x1440 display is a low pixel density montor (around 80-90ppi). You will always see pixels on curves and angles until the monitor is improved. This is more noticable if you also use a high pixel density montior (4k/5k/retina - around 180ppi) on some other system and tend to move back and forth - one monitor has edges which look sharp and clean, the other pixelated to a degree. A monitor can only display "smoothness" related to the amount of pixels it uses (pixel denisty). Its a hardware limitation and has nothing to do with any specific software.
