Changing the display of transparency and the artboard
You can display a checkered background grid to identify transparent areas of your artwork as you work on it. You can also change the artboard color to simulate what your artwork will look like if printed on colored paper.
To show or hide the transparency grid: Choose View > Show Transparency Grid or View > Hide Transparency Grid.
To set transparency preferences: - Choose File > Document Setup.
- Choose Transparency from the menu at the top of the Document Setup dialog box.
- In the Grid Size menu, choose a size for the checkerboard squares.
- Do one of the following:
- Choose a preset pair of grid colors from the Grid Colors menu.
- Create a custom pair of grid colors by clicking each color swatch to the right of the Grid Colors menu. In the Color dialog box (Windows) or Colors dialog box (Mac OS), select a color, and click OK. (For more information on using these dialog boxes, see your operating system documentation.)
- Click OK.
