Catia V5 Drafting-how do I change the color from white.

Navigate to your CATIA drafting standards location... (example) C:\Program Files (x86)\Dassault Systemes\B19\intel_a\resources\standard\ Find the drafting folder and save it to your desktop... to get around having to be a admin in CATIA...(you need to have only machine admin privileges) make a copy of the xml doc you need to edit... example ASME_3D-Copy.... go into the XML and find "sheetcolors" change the RGB code to a background color of your preference... make changes and save XML doc... save the drafting folder back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Dassault Systemes\B19\intel_a\resources\standard\ Start CATIA Drafting select the XML document ASME_3D-Copy. all your changes will be established.
