CHANGING COLORS
The CustomColors color configuration utility included with TurboDLD
Classic gives you
the ability to modify all of your changeable AutoCAD colors, including menu colors, text
colors, dialog box colors, and even drawing colors, while running AutoCAD.
CustomColors simulates an AutoCAD screen, complete with all possible objects. Type
DLDCOLOR[Enter]
at the AutoCAD drawing editor command line to edit the color
configuration. Once you enter the utility, you are provided with the following
configuration menu at the bottom of the screen:
(O)bject,
(D)rawing,
(P)hysical,
(A)DI reset,
(V)GA reset,
(L)oad,
(S)ave,
(E)xit
The menu items perform the following functions.
Object
Selecting this option allows you to change the color of any AutoCAD screen object,
such as the graphics area background color, the menu area text color, or the border line
color.
Select the object whose color you want to change by moving the highlight box around
with the left and right cursor control keys and pressing
[Enter]
when you have
highlighted the desired object. Note that a one-line description of the object type is
displayed at the top of the screen as you move the box around.
Once you have selected the object, another highlight box appears around the color
boxes nearest to the bottom of the screen. These are the physical colors that the video
board supports. Use the left and right cursor keys to select the physical color to be used
for the object you have selected and press
[Enter]
. The screen quickly redraws with
the new color selection for the object you have chosen, and returns to the start of object
selection, allowing you to change the color of another object.
Note that at any time during color configuration, you can press the
[Esc]
key once or
twice and return to AutoCAD. Also, pressing the question mark
[?]
key provides you
with context sensitive help.
