CADmonkey36 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It's good to hear I'm not alone! I use black MS and black PS, 100% crosshair, and 90% Aliases. The new auto lookup of the aliases is a great addition. It seems like over the years many new CAD monkeys are using the menus and ribbons for everything. To each their own but no one can figure out why I am so fast. 1 command=1 button. I do feel as though Autodesk is working very hard to Push users to the ribbon format so I may be in trouble in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abam_designer Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I use color 250 in both model and layout, as it seems to be easier on my eyes (fewer headaches). Black just makes the colors too harsh for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelDetailerLA Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Black but I have the brightnes on my monitor turned down to 75%, works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seetzer7 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 pure black = Model&Paper. White is too bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seetzer7 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I also hate the ribbons and am in love with aliases. I always customize my shortcuts and use the keyboard as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnon Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Pure black for the background. Crosshair at 100% Crosshair color set to 232,74,95 (a red/rose hue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdjezmin Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Black in model sapace, white on layouts. If it ain't broke don't fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxelkat Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I use 204,255,204 as my model space background. It's a gorgeous pale green and has a very soothing effect when I'm working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMS_0525 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Black model, black paper, and black command line with white text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORgrown Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've played around with the background until I got to RGB 104, 112, 120 - a gray that is not too light, not too dark. Contrast has been my problem...cyan, yellow, and even magenta and green are too bright against a black background and I cannot see them effectively against a white.

aburtz Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I've used black on model and paper space....just how my dad taught me. I have tried white and that default blue color for 2013, it just hurt my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currahee Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I just started to use 167 for the background. looks like the original blueprint with white crosshairs. And of course white in paper space Hey, I like that!!! Reminds me of running blueprints off when I was in high school 28 yrs ago!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevsmith Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I used to use black, but I quite like the new Dark blue colour that was brought in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotGuy Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I use default AutoCAD settings, but I changed my cursor to Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neophoible Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I prefer black backgrounds for Spaces & BEdit. Cursor 100% for quickly assessing alignment (but I don't rely on it). Still, I'm open to changing if I find ideas here or elsewhere that appeal. Some sound intriguing. Red for BG does not appeal at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blur314 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hi, =) As many others Black model and Black Paper, and just a bit of grey in previews. 251 for Block editor. White hurts too much when I change from one view to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Model background - 71,77,82 (dark gray) Crosshairs - magenta Cursorsize - 2 (certain defined commands toggle it automatically to 100 and back again to 2.) Layout background - 236,236,233 (off white, hints of light green) Crosshairs - blue I am using the Display Plot Styles in the pagesetup and the shades of gray show up pretty well with out the display being too bright for the eyes.
