Problem with Layout Book Background Color

Anonymous · ‎2008-10-27

I have a template file that originally had light yellow background. I changed it to white in the Grids and Displays settings. My background did change to white, but when I look at my plans on a layout sheet, cover fills set to -1 Background are showing up yellow like the old setting for the background. So I thought that (like pen setting) the layout book might have unique Grids and Display settings. While in the Layout book, I check my Grids and Display settings and the background is still showing as yellow and it is greyed out for editing.

Is this a bug or is there a way I can change this to white?

Anyone have any ideas? It seems the background color is broken when you tryt o change it while in Layout mode.

Did you try changing the backgrounds to something else, for example zero, then back to -1?

This could be a bug. I'll report it to Graphisoft.

This is only related to the Grids and Background dialog. The template I have was set to have a yellow background. I changed it while in a plan view. But, when I go to layout view and open the Grids and Background, the yellow is still there, but grayed out and unchangeable. While I can still plot fine, the on-screen view of my layouts show yellow anywhere that I have objects set to use the -1 Background pen.

I think its a bug too.
