Change Snap Color Settings

[b-L4R5-n]

I am drafting on the black background and am having alot of trouble seeing the snap markers.  Is there any way I can change the color so they can be seen?  The standard dark purple is just ridiculous.

Thanks!

Change Options=>Graphics=>Pre-Selection Color? Is this what you mean?

Ah...the days where we didn't want to lose our connection to Autobad... the black background.  Things got so much easier when we transitioned to the standard white screen and black lines.

haha!  yes, except my eyes get far too much strain from staring at a white screens.  I'm looking forward to being able to read once I retire.  (if that will ever be possible.)

What's weird to me, is that I can't work on a White Background in AutoCAD -- and I can't work on a Black Background in Revit.   What's that all about?  I'm not the only one around here wired that way either.  Even if I turn LWDisplay ON and set all Layers to WHITE, I still can't get comfortable with the White Background in AutoCAD. 

Just jaw-jacking...

It's a different methodology...and after using something for 20+ years you just get conditioned to see black with colored lines that represent a specific lineweight.

No one answering the question?

No you cannot change the color of the snap markers.

Thanks Rob!  That's too bad.  (there really should be)  Or at least make it a color that's visible on both black and white background options.

Options > Graphics > Colors does help, but how do I change the snap color for endpoint, midpoint, etc?  Its default is dark purple.    Thanks!

I thought you understood my response that said you can't.

It's been an "IDEA" and a wish list item for a very long time. In fact, it was one of my first questions when I started using Revit as I too cannot work with a white background for extended periods.

Yes, of course.  I forgot because its Monday.
