    You draw in White don't you?

    You can change the entity color by:
    1. selecting everything (CTRL + A).
    2. press the A button alone.
    3. Click on the Contour Tab.
    4. Select a different color.
    5. Click OK.

    If this doesn't help, post a file and I will give you more specific help.

    Regards

    You can also change your background to a more suited color. Say a light blue or grey.

    Do this in the 'Preferences>settings part' menu Display>background dropdown .

    The One's answer is for V19-V21

    Tjones's answer is for V2007

    My question is which Version of BCC are you asking about????

    thanks "the one"
    that helped .. just gotta get accustomed to this software.

    tobyaxis - V20

    Maybe someone can answer me this...
    I paid $2000.00 for this software back in '05 ...
    Just recently it was time for me to upgrade to a newer computer & I went to install the software onto my new computer & well........
    It won't work ! ! !
    I was told that i need to purchase another liscence ! ! !
    WHAT KINDA B.S. IS THAT MAN ? ! ?
    I'm just beginning to learn this stuff... have paid $100.00 per hour to learn this online... & now i get a decent computer & I CANT EVEN LOAD "MY" SOFTWARE INTO IT.

    Oh yea, On top of all this.. they want to sell me a liscense @ $300.00
    or... I can buy new version 21 for $300.00. Hey man... i haven't made 1 single dime w/ the software yet... why would i want to invest any more into it?

    Maybe ( hopefully ) i have been mis-informed & there is another way to get this done.

    Please help ,
    Thanks

    Only need another license if you intend to have the software on more than the one system. If removed from the first system please inform tech support (not sales) that you removed and reinstalled on new computer.

    They will help you out. Most likely was just a miss-understanding.
