    Default Change Background Color for outside layout

    a user of AutoCAD2008, just asked if he could change the color of the background OUTSIDE of the layout area which is grey right now. I know to change the layout area background color but now OUTSIDE the layout area. Is it even possible?

    I believe you only have 2 options, grey, or the color of the sheet. you can get grey by selecting to display paper background in the options dialog. Beyond that, I just have it set to show the printable area and it seems to work for me.
