2D Drawing Surface Color Cue

IC has a great visual aid on its 2D drawing Planes. For example, if you are in the Extrude command and your backround color is white, the Grid surface is a translucent cyan in color (by default). This indicates that your extrude direction is towards you. If you roatet you view 180 degrees you'll notice the Grid surface becomes a darker color which indicates you extrude direction is away from you.

 

This is a great visual cue if your view is perpendicular to a surface and your not sure which direction you are extruding.

 

NOTE: if you use differnt color backgrounds, the colors may vary but still have two distinct shadings to indicate extrude direction.
