Save Custom Background Color to the Default Options

[scoot28]

Hey, I was wondering if it's possible to add a custom background color (15,25,5) to the default color options in AutoCad LT 2015 ?

Reason I ask is I do normal Autocad work with the custom background color of 15,25,5 but often I need to change the background color to white to create jpg images directly from Autocad. But once I'm done with that I need to change the color by back to 15,25,5 for normal work.  So in the option menu I would like to see my custom color where you see the default colors of red, green, yellow, etc.

Is this possible ?

Thanks

OPTIONS command, Display Tab, tap that COLORS button and explore what you can and cannot change.

Hey, thanks for the reply.  Yes, I know how to change my colors but I'm wondering if there's a way to permanently place my custom color in the first drop down menu where red, yellow, green is now?  So what's happening now is when I change my color to white and then later want to change it back to my custom color I have to go thru all the steps again like it's the first time selecting a true color of 15,25,5.

No, there is no way to permanently add that as a default, AFAIK.

If you had AutoCAD instead of AutoCAD LT, you could use autolisp (or other programming API) to easily switch between any colors you want, w/o even going into Options.

Good luck.

Thanks for that information

Yes,  there's a half a dozen or more tools in regular AutoCAD that could be very useful in LT.  Both it's not worth the cost difference to have that when you don't draw in 3D.  

But Thanks anyway.
