Grey boxes from nowhere

[toconnor]

I keep getting grey boxes that show up from nowhere when I plot.  They do not show up on screen, there is nothing to select, all the layers are turned on, there are no old wipeout frames.  When I straight plot, the show up in one place, when I plot to PDF, they show up in a different place.  They do not show up on plot preview.  I have run audit and purge.  Please help before I go insane.  Thanks.

Can you post a copy of the drawing and PDF?

Could be the NAVBAR, try turning the Navbar off, if on as it will plot even though it's a GUI element.

Thanks, that worked for the first one. I try it some more. But that is a
great start.

I have run into this problem before.  I believe the ViewCube is the culprit.  Go to "options", 3D Modeling tab, and then make sure all boxes are not selected under "Display the ViewCube"

Thank you, but the problem was solved. It was NAVBAR issue. I'm not sure
how it affects plotting/printing, but it does.

Thanks, but it was the NAVBAR. It had to be turned off. Not sure how that
affects plotting, but it worked.

My Co-worker has this issue. I don't.

My Co-worker has an NVIDIA video card. I have an AMD GeForce.

Can anyone with this issue confirm whether video card brand is a factor? Specifically, is your video card an NVIDIA?
