FIGURE 1.9: The Drawing Window Colors dialog box
NOTE
The screen-captured images in this book are taken from AutoCAD
sessions using the Dark Color Scheme.You can set the Color Scheme at the top
of the Window Elements area and choose either the Light or Dark scheme.
2. Move to the Color drop-down list, which is in the upper-right corner.
If your drawing area background is currently white, a square followed
by the word White is displayed. Open the Color drop-down list, and
select Black (or the background color you want). The drawing area
will now be that color, and the cursor color will change to white, as
shown in the Preview window below.
3. Click the Apply & Close button to close the Drawing Window Colors
dialog box. The background and cursor colors change.
4. If you want to change the length of the lines of your crosshair cursor,
go to the lower-right corner of the Display tab (the middle of the right
side for LT), and move the slider to change the Crosshair Size setting.
The crosshair length changes as a percentage of the drawing area.
5. Click OK to apply any remaining changes and close the Options dia-
log box.
