Where is the options menu?

[Anonymous]

I've just opened up Autocad Mechanical 2013 and it's been a long time since I've used it but I cannot for the life of me find the Options menu to customize stuff.  I want to change the background color of the paperspace to black.  Where did they hide the options in this labyrinth of buttons?

Type OP on the command line. Alternatively, if you click the big red A, it should be down toward bottom right on that panel.

The Option button can indeed be found by clicking the RED A.

Why it's there and not on the main ribbons, only the geniuses at AutoCAD can explain.  But I suspect it has something to do with making everything as difficult as possible.

Hi,

>> Why it's there and not on the main ribbons

You can have it where ever you want, I use <CTRL><1> or a button in the quick access toolbar, I don't need more than these 2 quick options.
