2D View Tab Page

Use

You can use the 2D View tab page to determine how 2D images are displayed when you open a 2D graphics file. For example, you can select to display the background color of an image in green and the markers in red. You can also select the size and color of the viewport grid (see Viewport Grid) that can be displayed in transparent images. This enhances the image placement, making it easier to distinguish. To change the color of the image background or markers, choose the relevant color rectangle, select the color you require, and click OK twice.
