How to change Render Window background color in 2015

How do you change the Render Window background color  in Autocad 2015?  It always renders black and I can't figure out how to change it.

As a workaround, I put a 3dface in the background.

The current named view is used to determine the render background. You can use solid colors, gradients, and raster images as backgrounds.

 

To change the background of the current named view

 

  1. Type View at the command prompt, select New. 
  2. In the New View / Shot Properties window that appears, give the view a name. 
  3. If you want your background color to appear in modelspace, you must assign a 3D Visual Style. 
  4. To change the background color only, set the Type to Solid and this will then bring up the Background window that will allow you to select the color you want. 
  5. Click OK to close windows until you get back to the View Manager Window.
  6. In the View Manager dialog box, select the new named view in the Views tree and click Set Current. 
  7. Click OK. 

You can now render using your new background.
