Changing the background coulour

[Denkus]

Hey guys, today my firend was telling me how you could change the colour of the drawing page on AUTOCAD.

 

he said its easier to to draw on a black background when you start to use fluorescent colours and etc.

 

If anyone could help, this would be appreciated

Go to the Options menu under the display tab and click the Colors button. This will bring up the Drawing Window Colors dialog. Under Context list make sure 2D Model Space is selected. The top right corner there is a popup list call Color. You can select your window color from there. See the menu images below from ACAD 2009.

One other thing I found out the hard way is that the dwg's with the Black background saved in the R14 file type will not display correctly in AutoCad 2000.

 

I ended up changing the background to white and saving to a different file name. They were able to open the white back ground files with no problems.

R14 is the file format used in Autocad Lt98 and 98.

 

When you save the drawing you have a choice of the file type to save as.
