Objects and Fills appear darker than white background

SGraham_MGArchitects — Tue, 23 May 2023 15:08:54 GMT

I don't know how this happened, but the background color (set to white or "background") on my objects and fills in the plan view shows up as a light gray rather than the white of the background. Checked my pen colors and they haven't changed. Is there some contrast function that i don't know about?

As far as i can tell, it's just a visualization thing and not an actual color change.

Thanks.

It may give your a better result, when using a white background, use pen# (-1) Window Background for white instead of a pen that is set to 255,255,255.

There was is a discussion about white some time ago. You may be able to find some useful info by doing a search for it.

yep it is a visual contrast thing to help identify the white fills on the white background. you can turn it of if it bothers you, but don't ask me where.. i cant remember where it is and can't check at the moment as not at work...soz
