Edit block in place background fading effect

Anonymous — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 14:29:15 GMT

Hello everybody.

Is there the possibility to change the background fading ratio when edit a block using the command "EDIT BLOCK IN PLACE". Using the black colour background I can't be able to modifying the block in place referring to some lines that I have on the background because they almost disappear.

Many thanks and best regards.

Francesco.

Francesco,

Try to play with XFADECTL system variable:

You can use AutoCAD Preferences window:
"Look and Feel" tab on the left -> "Fade controls" -> Annotative objects on the right side of the Preferences window. Set it to lower value.

XFADECTL works perfect for me. Lower values takes the background more visible. Thanks again.
