Drawing Paper Color - SW 2008

Drawing Paper Color - SW 2008

Drawing Paper Color - SW 2008

(OP)
Im new to SW2008.  I have many drawing created in SW 2007 that I am opening up for hte first time in SW 2008.

Instead of the drawings being on a white paper packground, they are coming in on what looks like a wrinkly paper background which is very frustrating.

I have tried to go to - system options - colors - Drawings, paper color, and have selected a plain white color, but it does not change my view.

Any suggestions?  

I really hate some of these new feature in SW 2008

RE: Drawing Paper Color - SW 2008

You have to check the box for "Use specified color for drawings paper color".  Otherwise it will use the wrinkly paper.

Thanks Handleman

I didnt think that I need to change 2 setting to do something so simple

 

RE: Drawing Paper Color - SW 2008

Spurs,

You only really needed to change the "Use specified color for drawings paper color" setting, and the default colour would have been used. Choosing a non-default colour created the second setting.

cheers

I thought the wrinkly paper was a very effective device in cutting down the glare from the screen. It is a fine, productive use of programming time that might otherwise have been spent creating new _undocumented_ features.
