I have a mac, first of all, and because of this its hard to find help for any Autocad questions. I am trying to change the background color in paperspace from the eye straining white to a neutral grey.
Everywhere I search I am told that the answer is in optionsdisplay and then change it to what ever you want. However, mac has preferences instead of options and no display tab. And in all the tabs i do have, there is no obvious alternative.
Am I the only one using Autocad on a mac, and if not is there anyone out there that can help? I have a mac, first of all, and because of this its hard to find help for any Autocad questions.

And in all the tabs i do have, there is no obvious alternative. Am I the only one using Autocad on a mac, and if not is there anyone out there that can help? This issue drove me crazy for quite a while. The work-around I figured out is as follows: It is not possible to change the light gray background area in layout space, but it is possible to change the background color of the (8.5x11 default) layout area.In layout space, right-click anywhere in the window.From the contextual menu, choose 'Edit Page Setup.'
-In the window that pops up, click on the drop down menu 'Paper Size' and choose 'Manage Custom Sizes.' -Create a new custom paper size that's really large - say 80' x 80', with zero margins -Save it and click OK, bringing you back to layout space.Now just go to PreferencesLook and Feel and change the paperspace color to black. It's not a perfect solution, but you can now layout common paper sizes inside this giant 'paper.' Hope it works out for you! With Autocad for MAC you cant change the display of printable area, paper backround or paper shadow as easily as you can with windows based Autocad.
You cant get to them through the Application Preferences. You CAN however change by changing some of the the Autocad Environment Variables. The following link gives a lisp file that will help you do this, and details of how to do if you have LT Mac so can't use the lisp. I suspect you may be bookmarking that site, looks like a good reference for Autocad Mac users.
