How to turn off sign blank in Flexi 21

[gabagoo]

I have looked everywhere but just can't seem to find out how to get rid of the canvas or sign blank. I never had it on the older version and sometimes it just gets in the way. I probably don't know what they call it to find a menu item to turn it off. Any idea?

It's funny how different people use that stuff. I have mine turned on I size it to fit the file I'm working on. Another person here totally ignores it. Every time I open one of their files, my first thought is "this file is blank". Then I remember to click "zoom extents" and I can see the artwork. So even if you don't use the document border space, Flexi still opens to that space by default.

Thank you...I never would have even thought to look in there.

I use the border mostly as a means of Material or Media Management, or a base reference
so I will not paint myself into a corner or waste media.

Lets say you just bought a 48" x 50 yd Roll of 3m MC180-93 for a job.
So you just peeled of $1100.00 or there abouts an your plotter Polling is at 46"
My peliminary drawing board is 46" x 150" before I do anything else.

Loss Prevention is why I always use it.
