AutoCAD - Dim or dark title blocks or other objects


 Product(s):Promis.e
 Version(s):through 08.11.11.85
 Environment:N/A
 Area:Interoperability
 Subarea:N/A

Problem Description

Title blocks or other objects on the project pages appear dim or dark, not as bright as other objects.

Explanation

Locked layers in recent versions of AutoCAD appear darkened, and Promis.e title blocks are on locked layers. The dim appearance on screen does not affect plotting; the pages will print normally.

Steps to Resolve

To adjust the darkness of locked layers, use the LAYLOCKFADECTL system variable.

  1. At the AutoCAD command line, type LAYLOCKFADECTL
  2. Enter an integer between -90 and 90 (default is 50). The lower the number, the brighter the items on the layer will appear.
