Are you tired of staring at the same old white background in AutoCAD? Do you wish to change it to a more visually appealing black background?
Well, you’re in luck! In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to change the AutoCAD background from white to black.
Step 1: Accessing the Options Menu
To begin with, launch AutoCAD and open a new or existing drawing. Once you have your drawing open, navigate to the top left corner of the application window and click on the Application Menu (the ‘A’ icon).
From the drop-down menu that appears, select Options. This will open up the AutoCAD Options dialog box.
Step 2: Modifying Display Settings
In the AutoCAD Options dialog box, locate and click on Display in the left-hand sidebar. This section contains various display-related settings that can be customized according to your preferences.
Next, look for the Colors button and click on it. A new window titled ‘Drawing Window Colors’ will appear.
Step 3: Changing Background Color
In the ‘Drawing Window Colors’ window, find and select Uniform Background. By default, it is set to white.
Click on it once to highlight it.
Beneath this list of colors, you will see a color swatch displaying your current selection. To change the background color to black, simply choose a darker shade from the available options or manually input RGB values for black (0, 0, 0).
Note:You can also experiment with different colors based on your personal preference.
Step 4: Applying Changes and Exiting the Options Menu
After selecting the desired background color, click on the Apply & Close button to save your changes and exit the ‘Drawing Window Colors’ window.
Finally, back in the AutoCAD Options dialog box, click on OK. This will apply your new background color to all drawing windows in AutoCAD.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully changed the AutoCAD background color from white to black.
Now you can enjoy a more visually appealing and comfortable working environment while using AutoCAD. Remember, you can always revisit the options menu to further customize your display settings as per your liking.
