Dear Enrique,
I send you 4 pictures showing what kind of mesh I get in 3D and 2D cases.
With quadrilaterals the location of the nodes is on the straight lines.
I set the mesh to quadratic thorough the menu and tried with the command "Meshing
quadratic" as well.
In preferences the "as curved" choice is selected.
I checked the coords: the nodes are on the straight lines in case of quadrilaterals and
on the curve in case of triangles.
On a Linux machine with GiD 7.4.7b it works fine.
Kind regards
Andrea

Are you sure than your mesh is quadratic, and are drawing the elements as
curved?
I tried with GiD 7.4.9b and it works ok.
