    Hi All,

    I can not see the small dots that composer uses for the grid. Even
    if I zoom in the dots are hard to see. I have tried changing the
    background color and this helps some.

    Is the display of the grid dots customizable by skill commands or
    display.drf?

    I would like a bold dot, or larger dot used as a grid in Composer.

    If changing the background color helped, chances are somebody
    *already* mucked around with the defaults, so you can "thank"
    them. :) The default-default background color, determined by:

    dfII/etc/cdsDefTechLib
    share/cdssetup/dfII/default.drf

    is (0 0 0) black, and the default schematic grid is light
    grey ("slate", (140 140 166)).

    Now, dot-grid on schematics with this combo *is* a little hard
    to see, have you tried line grid? I dislike it, but I know
    designers that love it.
    Yes, layers (grid drawing) and (grid drawing1), with packet
    names set in the tech file (default grid and grid1).
    That, I think, you cannot get. You can change the color, and you can
    have lines instead of dots.
