How to change colors on imported DWG files?

I have opened a DWG file in Solidworks. The parts were drawn on layers and hence differant colors. How can I change the colors in Solidworks to be able to see the parts and dimension them? (Yellow on white background sucks.)

You can create a layer that is black, select everything and put them on that layer so you can see them.

In the System Options > Colors tab you can change the color of your drawing sheet.

You could also change the color of that layer.
