Use the Options toolbar to activate or deactivate various drawing aids. By default, the Options
toolbar is not shown, but you can display it from the View > Toolbars menu.
Choosing and defining colors
To display the Colors dialog (Figure 167), select View > Toolbars > Color Bar to display the
current color palette. By default, the Color Bar is displayed below the workspace. You can hide or
show it by clicking on its Hide/Show button. Here you can rapidly choose the color of objects in
your drawing (lines, areas, and 3D effects). The first box corresponds to none (no color).
