Background Color Bug?? V10 987 Release

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have updated to the latest fix. When I open a file with black pens and a black background, the pens should show up as white.

They don't.

Instead, when I change the background color to anything other than black, and then change back to black, the color correction/adjustment is then correct.

Is anyone else having this problem.

Thanks,

Grant

I never thought AC was supposed to do what you are saying... i.e. if the pen is the same color as the background, then I always expect it to be invisible on the screen.

When importing .DWG files, AC gives me the option to change pens if they are the same color as the background, but I think this will literally change the pencolor assigned to that particular index number. But you are talking about .PLN files, right??

I cannot replicate this behavior... when I go back to black, then I'm still seeing all black. I.e. I'm back in black... maybe time to hit the sack.
