Dotted Border around Paper Space

[Anonymous]

What does the dotted border in paper space represent?

How do I move the distance of this line from the edge of the page?

I've attached two images of the line in two different locations.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous,

The dotted line is a representation of the margins you have defined in your printer configuration. If you want to set them to 0 value, open the PC3 file and select Modify Standard Paper Sizes. You can set all the margins to 0.

In other words, the printable boundary edge for your printer - it can not print right out the edge of the sheet of paper.

(well, at least most can't)

This gives you a visual indication to stay within the lines - or it won't get printed.

why would it be missing is there a way to turn it on and off?

add:

Or it is ON but not visible bcause of border=0 and paper=ON, so printable borders and paper-borders are congruent
