Hi all, these green lines appeared on my artwork all of a sudden and I can't work out how to remove them. They are wrecking my head I've attached an image, I use Smart Guides and they're not them, anyone have any ideas how to get rid of them/what they are??

    To turn off green lines  -  go to artboard dialogue box  -  artboard options under side menu

    display

    turn off  - show center marks, show cross hairs, show video safe areas

    I think it can be video safe areas or something like that

    See the preferences, or see the artboards preferences

    Window/Artboards. In the Artboard menu that opens, at the upper right corner, select Artboard Options from the submenu.

    In the dialog that opens uncheck:

    Show Center Mark

    Show Cross Hairs

    Show Video Safe Areas

    I've attached a screenshot of my workspace, it's not video safe areas either

    You've got some third party prepress plugins there.

    Could it be that they create the green lines?

    Please open the layers panel and open the layer so you can see the contents.

    Are they perhaps guides?

    That's a new blank document, there's nothing in layers! They're not normal guides anyway, I've cleared all guides.
