Are you tired of the default gray background in AutoCAD? Do you want to give your CAD drawings a fresh, clean look?
Well, you’re in luck! In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to make the background white in AutoCAD, giving your designs a professional and polished appearance.
Step 1: Open the Options Menu
To begin, open AutoCAD and navigate to the top-left corner of the screen. Click on the “Application” button (the circular icon with a colorful AutoCAD logo).
A drop-down menu will appear. From this menu, select “Options.” This will open the Options dialog box.
Step 2: Access the Display Tab
In the Options dialog box, you’ll see a list of categories on the left-hand side. Click on “Display” to access display-related settings.
Step 3: Customize Colors
Within the Display tab, locate and click on the “Colors” button. This will open another dialog box that allows you to customize various colors used in AutoCAD’s interface.
Step 3.1: Select 2D Model Space
In the Colors dialog box, find the section labeled “Color scheme.” Here, you’ll see a drop-down menu with various options. Select “2D model space” from this menu.2: Change Background Color
Once you’ve selected “2D model space,” locate and click on the color swatch next to “Uniform background.” This will open a color picker window.
- Note: If you prefer using hexadecimal values or RGB values instead of picking a color from the palette, click on “Define Custom Colors” at the bottom of the color picker window.
Step 3.3: Choose White as Background Color
In the color picker window, navigate to the white color. You can either select it from the palette or enter its hexadecimal (e.g., #FFFFFF) or RGB values (e., RGB(255, 255, 255)). Once you’ve chosen white as the background color, click “OK” to close the color picker window.
Step 4: Apply Changes and Close Options
Now that you’ve customized the background color, click “Apply & Close” in the Colors dialog box to save your changes. Then, click “OK” in the Options dialog box to close it.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully made the background white in AutoCAD. From now on, every time you open AutoCAD, you’ll be greeted with a clean and professional-looking workspace.
Tip: If you ever want to revert back to the default gray background or try different colors, simply follow these steps again and choose a different color in Step 3.2.
In conclusion, customizing your AutoCAD background is a simple yet effective way to enhance your CAD drawings’ appearance. By making the background white, you’ll create a visually pleasing environment that allows your designs to stand out. So go ahead and give it a try – your eyes will thank you!
