Model Space background is white on Paper Space

[Anonymous]

When I switch from model space to paper space, the background on the viewport on model space is white. How do I switch MS  to black while on paper space? See below.

-I already tried: Tools/Options/Display/Colors/Sheet Layout/Uniform Background/(switch it to Black)

 and the MS is set like this: Tools/Options/Display/Colors/2D Model Space/Uniform Background/Black

-I also tried to go to Page Set Up on the layout tab and changed the plot style to monochrome.

Hi,

there does not exist a modelspace color on layout.

The color for modelspace you can assign in the options is just for the real modelspace, not the viewport in the layout you use to look to the modelspace entities.

I would not understand where this is needed (as long as you don't want to print on black paper) as a layout is primary build to be WYSIWIG.

That's how I normally have it, and my background is black [but as @Alfred.NESWADBA pointed out, the entire paper space background, not just the model-space background inside a Viewport].

Does this happen in all drawings?  If in only one, maybe an AUDIT is in order.  If in all drawings, maybe a re-install or repair?

Hi did you try this option?

The reason I want the MS black while on PS it's because I can barely see the color blocks with white background

Hi,

>> I can barely see the color blocks with white background

And on paper you can see them?
If yes then you can start command _PAGESETUP ==> modify ==> activate the "Display plot styles" checkbox.

If no then the best option you have is to then the whole paper background to black.
