Applying a White Color Fill to an Area

      You will notice that if you attempt to fill an area in with a white color the program will automatically switch it to black since white is not a printable color. In some cases a white fill is helpful like when you are wanting to block portions of a plot plan or create a background for text to be read easily.

If you go to VIEW >> OPTIONS and uncheck Invert Pen and Invert Pattern, your white areas will appear.
