The way my version (15) interface is setup is with a black background. Can anyone suggest how to set up a color scheme that works with a white background which I find is much
easier to look at?

Are there different color sets I could preview quickly?

Also with on screen line work that resembles the final plotted out come?

Thanks

Larry

Thanks Neil,
I'll give it a shot!

It is easy to tweak things for yourself. I think some monitors work better with a white background than do others.

Neil,
If you have ever seen the Chief Architect software, that is the look I'd like to achieve. I like a light blue grid instead of the little makers. I also like how the linework looks.

You can see what I mean here:

You could play with the spacing of the dots - at some point as you zoom in/out they'll disappear but set the other set to take over.

You can create a display grid by setting the Grid 2 Marker Size to a large value like 120 pixels.

Utility --> [S1] Grids --> [F7] Grid Color --> [F2] Set Grid 2 --> [S8] Marker Size

Larry, that is a fine looking set of drawings, but I don't know what the CA interface looks like. Changing the menu colors is changed through Windows, and the font is set in DataCAD preferences.

Oops!

Here is an attachment.

Mark jumped in a demonstrated how to do a grid. It worked great!
