eyesight problem

how do i change the grid color to make it more visable

Using AutoCAD 2008, go to Format > Options and then click on the Display Tab.

See attached images for more help.

Not sure I agree with above.

In any event I think you have two options. First, I'm guessing that you have a black background in model space and the grid is white. Yes? Have you considered going to a white background instead? The grid "dots" would then be black.

Another option is to set VSCURRENT to Hidden. Thus, instead of dots you'll get lines. To me, this is a bit confusing but it might work for you. Don't like the lines then Undo to reverse what you just changed.

I just tried this and it didn't change the color of the grid.

Seems your right Glenn...

I would go with what ReMark posted

The VSCURRENT didn't either. I'm guessing it's because I'm using LT. It's OK, I was just curious.

It didn't change your background to a gray "GRID" like?

It tells me "Unknown Command". I'm not surprised with LT. It has it's limitations.

blowe: No the grid points cannot be made bigger.

gsksun: Then you should consider going with a white background. Anyways, with SNAP toggled on even a blind man could catch a grid dot. I say this because I am blind in one eye (20/1000 vision vs 20/15 in my other eye).

ReMark, I was just curious about the commands. To see the difference. I have no problem with the black background and seeing the grid. In fact, I prefer the black background over the white.

Thanks anyway.
