Hi all - can I ask about gaussian blur?  I have a vector shape in illustrator that I want a blurred edge to.  However it shows as VERY blocky and not smooth (see photo below) is there something I can do to make it look smoother?

I am sure years ago I had this and my colleague showed me a setting I could change - but my colleague is not here to ask!

Many thanks
MJ
