You can quickly change an object's display using its shortcut menu: To do this, right-click the object (point, line, element, and so on). Use the Display Properties to open the dialog box showing the display parameters of the object (see the Display Properties dialog box).
It is also possible to open the "Display Properties" dialog box in the Options menu.
The settings are managed separately for the display on the "Screen" and in the "Report". Thus, separate adjustments for the monitor graphics and for the printout report are possible. You can use the
button to synchronize the display properties for the screen and report.
The "Category" navigator shows all graphical objects in a directory tree. To change the display properties of a category, select the corresponding entry. Then, you can adjust the object-specific display parameters in the main dialog section: Color, line display, type and arrangement of numbering, font, and so on.
The default setting is a black background. If you select a light background color, you should accordingly adjust any standard objects that are light in color.
You can quickly activate the default settings for a white background using the
list button at the bottom of the dialog box. This option is described in detail in FAQ 005360.
