Load
Reloads the color information from the file DLDCOLOR.DAT. It is loaded from the
directory pointed to by DLDCFG (AutoCAD R11), or from the AutoCAD R12 \DRV
directory. If DLDCOLOR.DAT cannot be found, an error message is displayed.
This command is useful because it allows you to go back to your previously edited color
configuration in case you have made mistakes in configuring your colors.
Caution:
Be careful not to accidentally wipe out your changes.
Selecting ADIreset, VGAreset, or Load irrevocably wipes out any
current color changes unless you have just saved your new setting.
Use them only when necessary.
Save
Saves the current color palette to DLDCOLOR.DAT. It is saved to the directory pointed
to by the DLDCFG environment variable in FASTACAD, or to the \ACAD\DRV (R12)
directory if FASTACAD is not used.
Exit
Exits CustomColors. If you have made palette changes, but not saved them, you are
asked if you want to save your changes before exiting.
When running at more than 8 bits-per-pixel (256 colors), setting physical colors via
DLDCOLOR has no visible effect until a Save and Exit occurs.
TURBODLDCLASSIC COMMANDS
TurboDLD
Classic offers AutoCAD users many features and productivity options. This
section alphabetically lists the basic commands found in TurboDLD

Classic commands

The most important feature of TurboDLD
Classic is the addition of a world view called
the Big Picture

(BP). Bringing up the BP allows you to view where in the current
drawing you are currently located in your active viewport, and it also gives you the
ability to dynamically move to another part of the drawing without having to exit the
function you are currently executing.
DLDBIGPIC
To call up the Big Picture, at the AutoCAD command line, type
DLDBIGPIC[Enter]
, or
double click the right mouse button or button 2 on your digitizer puck (if you haven't
redefined your BP Button double click). This brings up the BP on the display. Cross-
hairs and a highlighted section indicate which part of the whole drawing you are
