AUTOCAD 2008 ICON MENU TIPS AND TRICKS

I am now working with AutoCAD Electrical 2008, I am very pleased with the stability and the many improvements. I want to make special mention of the new "ICON MENU WIZARD" it is now very intuitive to use. I do have the following tips/tricks for those of you who are now using this new tool:

1-change the Auto cad background to white, this will allow the thumbnails (icons) to have a white background. I made a coupe with my standard black background and they take away from the ascetics of the new interface.

2- open the user block drawing and change the geometry ti a BOLD line type. this will create a symbol that is legible, the standard linetype is too slim once shrunk to thumbnail size.

3- stretch the geometry horizontally, because the autocad window is rectangular and the thumbnail is square, it will shrink the width of your geometry. This will create a narrow looking icon.

I want to ask you if you have any other ideas, and/or questions to contact me. I will keep updating with new tips and tricks as time allows.
