Layout 1

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can someone tell me why when I switch to Layout 1 instead of having a blank black page, I have a white page with a black square?  When I bring in my tittle block, the square is either on a corner of my block, or somewhere else.  Please, help me figure this out.  I need a clean black page like when i start witha brand new drawing.

Thanks,

Marisol

Presuming AutoCAD for Mac is similar to AutoCAD for Windows, look in OPTIONS, on the Display tab.

You can turn off "Display Paper Background", and the in the "Colors" section, you can set the color of your "sheet/layout" to whatever color you want.

Hi Mariso,

If you are using AutoCAD for Mac, than "Display paper background" not available in application options, unfortunately.

Could you post screenshot of what you see when you switch to Layout? By default you should see blank "page" with viewport to Model space which created automatically.
If you need to change background colors in Layout - it is possible in AutoCAD for Mac, but for further instructions I need to know: which version of AutoCAD do you have (full or LT)?

When you switch to Layout for the first time by default you should see:
