FAQs
Autodesk only lets you choose between a Dark or Light color theme, with some control over model space and workspace background colors. CAD Filters goes further — giving you a way to make your AutoCAD or Civil 3D workspace truly unique to your personal preferences.
After loading your purchased filter, a CAD Filters tab will appear on the Autodesk Contextual Ribbon. Click the CAD Filters tab, click the Color Filter button, and when the preview window pops up click Apply — and you're done!
Yes — CAD Filters has been tested and confirmed to work with AutoCAD, Autodesk Civil 3D, and AutoCAD MEP versions 2025, 2026, and 2027. It may also work with other AutoCAD-based products, so feel free to try it and see!
Simply close AutoCAD and reopen it. The colors will return to your standard theme, and the CAD Filters ribbon tab will remain so you can reload your filter at any time.
About
CAD Filters was built by Dan O'Shaughnessy, a project designer and CAD professional who got tired of staring at the same dark gray AutoCAD theme every day. What started as a personal project turned into a product used by engineers and drafters across the industry. Every filter is hand-crafted and tested in a real AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D environment.
