The system color option "Inactive Entities" controls the color of our drawing borders in our sheet formats. It also controls one other thing that I know of--inactive grab handles (the 3Dish arrows that you can use to drag an extrusion to size, for example).

Are any of you aware of any other entitites that use this "Inactive Entities" color setting? I'm making a change to mine, and I don't want any suprises.

Thanks,

Brian

From drawings, use the "Line Format" toolbar to toggle off system colors. Then make your border whatever color you want, or put it on a layer with an assigned color.

Then you can leave the "Inactive entities" set to a color you like while having your border a separate color.
