Block Editor Background Color
Just a quick post to show how you can change the Back ground color inside the block editor. If you right click over your command line. Or type in OPTIONS in the command line, you can access the DISPLAY tab of the options menu. Inside the options menu you'll see a COLORS button. If you select this button you'll see an image for Model Tab and Layout Tabs. You'll also see a Window element pull down where you can select the option for BLOCK EDITOR BACKGROUND. Here you'll be able to change the beige type color to something with more contrast for your needs. I tend to set my background to BLACK? If anyone has any other color combo's feel free to comment on it. This color option for Displays also supports the TRUE COLOR settings and not just Index colors.
Hi, Mark!
The default color choice for the editor is something that stupefies me - it's unusable.
BTW, I use black also

Agree with Rick Moore, the default color is whacky. Use black here

Hey Mark,
We've chatted before in the AUGI forums. I was wondering if you could help me figure something out ...
From my understanding, there are 2 options when right clicking a DB in model space. You get the option to edit the block in place and you get the option to go into the block editor.
The "in place" editor is where I need a bit of input. What exactly does this do? What is it for?
From my understanding, the in place editor is more geared towards regular blocks rather than DBs. If a DB is opened and edited "in place", CAD assigns it a "nested object" status, complete with new name, and basically explodes the block. It's basically a reference editor.
I ask primarily because I have a co-worker asking me why his DBs are not working after he uses the in place editor.
Personally, I have not worked with the in place editor a whole lot and actually try to avoid it when using DBs. But now that my co-worker has started asking questions, I am actually kind of curious about it. The help menu in CAD does not hold a lot of info on it.
Can you confirm or deny my suspicions? Can you add to what I've written?
a reply would be greatly appreciated.
